Hi,
I have been digging around a bit and here are the things I already decided on.
1. NAS only works as file server and needs good data security,
2. no media server (this load will come on the shoulders of the htpc)
3. torrent/usenet downloading (rar/par should run during the night, so it does not interfere with other use of the NAS)
4. encryption? do i actually need this in a home environment?
5. location will be in the cellar, so can be noisy and cellar is always low temp
6. LOW power! The rest of my home has been built to be very ecofriendly, so i would like to keep all my electronics also low power.
I have decided on a 6 disk RaidZ2 setup with >= 16Gb RAM.
however I am still not clear on the CPU:
AMD vs intel?
Atom vs celeron vs Core?
Is the new Haswell going to be such an increase in power/performance?
thx for your advise
PS: any advise on a good case for this build?
