I dunno why you guys are saying zfs takes up so much cpu, I had it running on a pentium 4 with 10 drives serving over a gigabit network, works fine.
Then again, that was zfs on opensolaris. Later on, same box ran zfs on linux, also did fine.
I agree if you want transcoding, you'll need some cpu power, but the i3 won't cut it for that either, at least for high bitrate 1080p movies.
