Home Theatre server

[Valkyrie0512]

Im looking to build a server to put all of my movies on so I can stream to my Apple TV and Panasonic television. I was thinking of using Plex media server on windows 7. I have a budget of about £500 and would like to stream 1080P with no buffer (I have gigabit LAN over the house). I was thinking of using a AMD APU as they have better graphics for transcoding but can anyone give me a idea of the kind of build I need ?

Thanks

There is a great one I've found at this site here. What you want is a NAS for streaming. http/bit.ly/H8hyoe
