Well it's been a while since I posted here. Mainly because my old system and server has been running flawlessly for three years and all upgrades have gone fine.
Until now.:mad:
Not Gbpvr's fault at all but the server I run it from has finally crapped out and I'm ready to take the plunge on building a new system. I've been reading up here and elsewhere on a good mobo to base it on as I've been out of the loop so to speak for quite a while.
Here is a brief breakdown of what I want from the system.
PVR running Gbpvr obviously, File server, I currently run through a couple of mvp's and will do so in the short term but come the new year sales I hope to be upgrading the TV to hdmi so the new board will need to be capable. The system also has to be reasonably quiet and able to be used for moderate daily surfing etc. Not a big gamer so that's not important. I do do a lot of work with Cakewalk and home recording so thats a consideration as far as audio goes.
My thoughts so far are something like this. Any comment on this or recommendations for a better mobo would be appreciated. Aso what cpu would be good for that board considering I want to keep it cool and quiet as well as run the apps above.
Also looking for advice on a decent quiet power supply and a quiet cpu fan. I thought I'd get the mobo and cpu sorted before I move on to them though. Suggestions for those also gratefully appreciated though. Sorry for for rambling and thanks for any help and advice.
