I am kinda split on how to proceed with my storage upgrade...
(mainly to handle my movie storage)

I have several questions and/or decisions

I could build a home server with some parts I have left over from my last build,
with the parts I currently have I would need to buy a cpu, case and powersupply
as well as the drives needed and an optical drive.

migrate the whole thing the next time I switch motherboards or otherwise upgrade my
system.
