A friend and I would like to build a media server. He will be putting up the capital so it will be his. I'm just in it for the learning experience.
These are his specifications.
4 storage bays, 4 HDs, it needs to be able to run Plex, and transcode for 1080p and 5.1 sound. It also has to have a good write/read speed so it can transfer all filed wirelessly.
and 2-4 people should be able to stream without loss of quality
On 24/7.
Budget of 500$ Ish.
Is this within the realm of possibilities?
So I'm guessing key parts will be the HD, the mobo, and network card?
