Ok, so I've currently got a a descent box sitting in my basement, my old gaming machine, that is currently running an ftp server, teamspeak server, and occasional gaming server for whenever my friends and I wanna get on and screw around. But anyway has anyone made an HTPC with that much bandwidth use? Will either of these uses bog down the machine so much that either use or both will slow down massively or even crap out on me? I'm currently looking to build a new HTPC, but I was thinking that if this was possible, could I just run it on my current machine???
Curent setup up is half a gig of ram, Athlon XP2800+, and I ripped out my audigy 2 so is only onboard audio for now. So if I purchase myself a descent video capture card and probably a new sound card, can I pull this off???
Or if both uses will crap out on me, I guess I may be able to turn this current box into the HTPC with mentioned upgrades and purchase some cheap parts for server box..... What would you guys say would be best. I'd rather keep my budget around $300-400 if possible, the cheaper the better....
