Hi Guys
Well i have just about maxed out my N54L, I have 3 VM's running on it and a teamspeak server whilst being a media server in my house often streaming 2 or 3 connections of HD content and also a game Server. So i have Maxed the ram out now (4gb) and the cpu is never really below 80% but to be fair it does very well.
Im looking to have something about the same size ideally but not mega important i can just hide it in the loft. I would like a big of CPU power ideally something i can upgrade too. Add more Ram/ change CPU.
Must haves are:
1) Quiet! i do not want a 1U rack in my loft lol.
2) Energy Efficient (under 200 watts ideally)
3) Under £500 (scope to spend more later on ram etc)
So what would you recommend ? i like the New HP small Gen 8 stuff but two ram slots is a little annoying. or do i build my own ? I have no issue building my own if it offers better value.
Cheers in advance.
