Please ignoere - as I have reposted in the Windows home server thread.

Hi

I'm building myself a new WHS and was thinking of using the following parts. It will be running Tvversity, and thus may be transcoding some videos on the fly. I've proposed AMD due to the very low power requirements and the great reviews that the 780G chipset has been getting for blueray decoding (it may become a HTPC within 6 months and the server gets moved onto my current machine). Its going to be the spare bedroom so needs to be ultra quiet.

Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H Mobo
Athlon 64X2 4850e Cpu
Antec 300 case (+new fans if it proves to be too noisy)
Cheap ish (but CL5) 2gb DDR2 800 memory. (or would 4Gb be better)

I already have a 1Tb HDD, CPU cooler and PSU. My budget is limited to £200 and the above set-up comes in on the nail. I'd like to do my little bit for the environment and use a low power system.

Would you guys suggest anything different?

Cheers
