Well, I'm a bit of a torrent fanatic, & My drives fill up quickly. I have 3 old Desktop's which ive combined the best of all parts to make what i'de call my own seedbox & Media Server.

At the moment Its on a 3.8ghz Pentium 4 -Prescott 2M 4GB of Ram, with the Primary Drive bieng 500GB, then a secondary at 1TB. The only issue, is that it makes use of an old GeForce FX card, so it doesnt stream very well. Whats a good PCI-e card that can handle basic MKV, I can just use the laptop for HD streams. I was thinking about a 9400GT. otherwise I might just toss this current setup and use my laptop. Im really not sure.
