Hey everyone! I recently built a G4 HTPC, however I have just been accessing all of my media via external hard drives plugged in via USB 2.0. I have decided it is finally time to take the plunge and build a dedicated server, but I have some questions.

1. There are definite advantages to unRAID, however I don't have plans to add a parity drive right now so I am leaning towards a different OS. Ubuntu Server or WHS 2011? Or a different option?

2. Are all of these builds strong enough to run SAB, CP, and SB while streaming to the HTPC?

3. Is 8GB RAM overkill for SAB, CP, SB, media streaming, and possibly a web server in the future?

Thanks!
