Current system is a crap Core Duo running Win10. Works, but can't transcode for crap.
Yeah. My last server was a Mac mini w/ a C2D 2.4. I could play stuff that was native but anything that needed transcoding would murder it. Now I use that machine for my downloading needs. It's always behind a VPN and keeps me up to date with video.

Dell R710 with dual 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor with 12MB Cache -- E5620. 16Gig mem, OS on 1T RAID1 (was same price as 500s). Media will be a 4 disk Raid5 as 12T usable. Found a killer deal for the system.
That's why I did the Xserve. The cpu power/dollar was insane. That server cost like $200.

I'd consider that, but the downloading app keeps crashing on me.

@Prime Would you buy the Gen1 shrockworks rear bumper again? I need to replace mine on the new rig anyway. Also will it work with a stock hitch?

Wait it has a hitch.

Unfortunately, yes.

To clarify, in my opinion they have one of the best designs out there. If Maxterra made one for the 1st gen with all the Jerry can holders and such it might be a different story. But as it stands shrock him just has the best design for a 1st gen rear bumper. It's really well made, and fits perfectly.

The unfortunate part is, their customer service sucks and the lead times are atrocious. Though you can probably pick up locally to save on shipping.
