[mythtv-users] Backend machine - Acer Altos G540 Std Server?

[Nick Rout]

Does anyone have experience with this or similar machine
http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.asp?id=624082220 ? Intended use is as a backend
using HDHR tuners.

Size (WxDxH)mm: 445 (H) x 212 (W) x 550 (D) mm
Weight (Est): 32 kg
Processor: Intel Quad-Core Xeon E5420
Processor Speed: 2.5GHz
RAM: 4GB
Hard Drive:3x 75GB (8 hard drive slots altogether)
DVD-RW
SAS


I am guessing the CPU and RAM will be sufficient. My main concerns are
power consumption, heat and noise. I will be stuffing it full of 8 x 2 to 3
tb hard drives.
