Tuesday, July 27, 2010
Our recent Vail self-build project promoted a lot of discussion regarding the right processor to be used for Vail. Should you go with a low power processor like the Intel Atom, and if so, would you lose the ability to transcode high definition video on the fly? Or do you rip up the home server rule book and drop in a mighty Intel Core i7 that certainly has the power to transcode, but is expensive to run?

Friday, June 4, 2010
Our Summer of Home Server continues with Project 3: Build Your Own Home Server. Researching and building any computer is fun, and there are great benefits to building rather than buying. You can tailor the computer exactly to your needs, have greater choice over the size, scale and components selected and ensure you future proof the design for future upgrades. If you have never built a PC before, it may seem a little daunting from the outside looking in. In reality, with a little bit of research, and the right components, it’s actually really easy to build a home server and you’ll get a lot more satisfaction the first time you boot it compared to one bought off the shelf!
