Hi all,
EDIT: I just noticed this is VERY similar to the setup Landshark has. So most of it is pointless, only question left is:
Will a DualCore Atom 330 with 2GBs handle the serving and recording?
I’m going to start building out my whole home media serving and automation system and before I went purchasing anything I thought I’d get some feedback.
Step 1: get WHS up and running with DVD library served to x360.
Requirements for WHS.
[list]
[*]mControl for Home Automation
[*]TVServer, SageTV, or similar to record content from 2 HD-PVRs and/or an HDHomeRun
[*]serve as the primary file store of dvd, blue-ray rips, music, video, pictures, etc for a number of extenders (xbox 360, XBMC or Win7MC client)[/list:u]
Step 2: through HD-PVRs or HDHomeRun use WHS to record and serve recorded TV. (comskip is a bonus but not a must).
So my question to you all is, will an Atom 330 with 2GB of RAM be enough to handle this?
Is that a better solution based on power consumption than a AMD 5050e running on some other chipset (The G45 chipset is pretty power hungry from what I hear)?
Is 4GB of RAM going to be needed for mControl or The server Media Apps?
Also any ideas on how big a PSU I’d need for that many drives in the future?
Things I’ve already speced out:

Thanks in advance for any responses.
