I'm wanting to build a relatively cheap, low power, Media Server for all of my devices, like my main PC, laptop, android phone etc etc and just for basic file transfers for important documents. I'm wanting to use a Mini-Itx formfactor case so that it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb, I don't own a large business, I just want a media server
My question is, is what hardware should I get? I'm looking at 1155 board with an Intel Celeron processor for the meantime and when Skylake comes out (presumably) in 2016, I can take the i5 out of my current machine and put it in the server. Will this suffice until 2016? I plan on just using NTFS or something, other recommendations are welcome.
Thanks. Apologies for being a complete ignorant arse.
EDIT: Probably going to go the safe route and buy an i3 processor. Thanks for your help.
