I think I need to build a backend for transcoding.  My two file servers 
are rock reliable, solid, but slow....

model name    : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+
cpu MHz        : 1000.000
bogomips    : 2009.09

It took almost 11 hours to transcode 1 hour of HD video into h264 format 
for my roku.

If I was to build a backend for transcoding (fast hardware, small SSD, 
fast NIC) what is the recommended hardware these days?
