Hey all,
I'm building a home server and have decided to go with Windows for one main reason, which is that I want to run it as a PlayOn server, as well. Basic uses will be:
-Storing and serving all of my media (duh)
-Using Plex to organize/rename media as necessary
-PlayOn server
-Crashplan server
-Using XBMC.MyLibrary to update Library links to PlayOn content (meaning Java + Task Scheduler are needed)
-Permanently running XBMC for said XBMC.MyLibrary operation
-MySQL for home XBMC sharing
-PVR backend (probably ServerWMC), including recording
-Light-medium downloading
-VPN
I have two NUC clients, both of which are running SteamOS for in-home streaming and XBMC. I'd prefer for the server to be headless, or mostly headless.
Anyone have some hardware suggestions?
