I'm looking to build a media/file server for my house. I will be setting up my htpc running Media Center 7. I have a 16-bay hot swap 4u server case with triple redundant PSU's. I have an old AMD board that I am going to throw in there for the time being. I plan on getting 4 2TB drives for now and expanding in the future. I have a couple CPU options. I have an AMD 3100, 3200, and 3800 sitting around. My gut tells me that the 3100 would be a good choice, but the 3800 is looking pretty good too. Anyone have any suggestions? Also I was planning on throwing Server 2008 R2 on there. I also have another copy of Win7 Ultimate that I could use on there too. What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Bill
 
Go for the 3800 for those just in case situations.
