Ability to serve media to atleast 5 locations in the house over gigabit and wifi
Run Plugins - Minimal sickbeard,sabnzbd,mysql, others suggested?
Have the usb pluged in internally (children roaming around)
Extremely quiet.
Power efficient.
Start with 3x3TB no need in my head to go over 10x3TB
Look nice in the living room.

Looking for suggestions on improvements, and if I should spend more to improve something please let me know.

CASE: Fractal Designs Define R4 - $109
MOBO :http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157326 $59 (cheapest I could find with 6 Sata Ports)
CPU : G540 (would I benefit with going with something more powerful?) - $49
RAM: 2x4GB DDR3 1333-1600 - ~$35
PSU - CX-500 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6817139027 - $29.99 after rebate

Total - $282 after rebates

Please let me know what I should change and/or look for! Thanks!

I think the only challenge you'll have is the "Extremely quiet" part.
These "servers",..especially as you add hard drives,...and not the noisiest systems,..but at the same time,..they're not quiet either.
Fans also add to the noise factor. The more hard drives you add,..the more heat you generate, the more fans you'll need,..the noisier it all gets.

Can you put this server in a closet or in a laundry room,..out of sight?
My Build and my A-10 and my dream machine.
