Has anyone got multiple XBMC's syncing with MySQL on their Proliant with WHS 2011? From the installation of MySQL onwards? I've not been able to get it working and am looking for an idiots guide if anyone can help!

would this run everything good, or would it be better to just build one? i'm going to be watching just about everything i.e.: sd, 720, 1080, 3d, etc

i was thinking about getting one instead of building one but wasn't really sure what to get for a graphics card.

Saw these for sale with £100 cash back, making this unit about £150. I have my htpc and media on the same unit at the moment, but was considering a server. This unit looks ideal. Tell me: this has 4 bays for hard drives right? so does one of those have to be for the OS or is there another bay for that? or can I just fir a loose 2.5 in at the top like some people are doing? and is that safe doing that?
Also while we are here, regarding windows home server: can things be installed on that as normal? like sickbeard, utorrent, serviio etc? and can this use SMB shares so I can transfer stuff across easly?
HTPC: Motherboard: Asus F2A85-V, CPU: AMD A10 6800K, RAM: Kingston XMP BEAST 16GB, Samsung 840 EVO 250GB, LG CH12NS30 Blu-Ray drive, Samsung, and WD various 2 and 3TB for storage, Windows 8.1, one for all remote/FLIRC, Logitech z906 surround system.

I'm getting an error when trying to launch XBMC on a WHS 2011 machine - I don't recall the exact text but I think basically it can't access a log (or location for a log) to write to. I can get the exact text later when I get home but I'm hoping my brief and somewhat terrible description may give people a general idea of what the issue is. I did a quick check and there is no userdata directory for XBMC in the AppData directory in Windows.
Any ideas on how I can clear this up?

i did nothing special to get xbmc running on whs2011.
just downloaded the .exe file and installed it...
there was nothing more to do...
maybe try to install it with rightclick -> run as administrator

What are you using to measure the draw? Can you test something with a given wattage? (lamp?)

i'm thinking of getting my self a HP Proliant MicroServer N40L or a 36L
i want to use is as media storage (to stream to my main HTPC mainly 1080p material blu-ray's remux)
run sabnzbd+sickbeard on it.
and use it perhaps for a bedroom HTPC with xbmc.
install WHS2011 or 2k8
my questions for owners:
is it capable to stream 1080p 20-40 GB Blu-Ray remux's without a problem (wired on a 1Gbps network+cables) ?
can it handle downloading(100Mbps+) and unrar/par2 repair at the same time ?
