Building a Home server.

    Hi,
    I've decided to build a home server to stream my movies to my ps2 and other devices in the house. I have built a gaming pc before but never a server.

    It will be a file server and also it will run TVersity. I may also connect it to the internet to allow me to access my files outside my house and eventually I may use it to host several websites.

    Could someone recommend a processor, PSU and motherboard?

    Requirements:
    Low power.
    Raid for two 1TB hard drives.
    Decent processor - TVersity encodes movies for the ps3 on the fly if they are not compatible. I upscale to a resolution of 1920 x 1080 so the processor has to be able to handle this.

    Any help appreciated.
    Regards,
    Kevin

    Ok. I have decided to go for an intel Xeon processor so now its just the motherboard which I am unsure of. Could someone please recommend one, I am unsure which is best suited to a server.
    Thanks,
    Kevin
