Wanto to build 3 PCs from spare parts need advice

[ambrau]

Hi  

 

I have recently built a Gaming rig but have a lot of spare parts from old PCs laying around and intend to put them to work on 3 "new" systems:

 

-htpc (to connect to my 46" sony bravia(full hd-no3d))

 

               * no tv tuner

               * max storage 60 gb (maybe ssd)

               * no blu-ray

               * plan to use OPEN ELEC with XBMC and remote.

               * HD videos playback (1080p)

               * quite and sleek

               * not going to be ON all day, just when needed.

 

                

 

-home server/media server (p2p sharing, storage, print server) 

               

               * lot of storage say 2tb is OK

               * always on so LOW power consumption

               * low noise

               * ubuntu server with vnc.

               * no monitor for most of the time except during manteinance

               

 

-second PC (linux,general tasks,don't know exactly, maybe mom will use it from time to time..SUGGESTIONS PLEASE ) Also will do this awesome case mod... http://www.totalgeekdom.com/?p=683

sata expansion card           http://www.mmui.com.cn/en/product_details177.html

3 plain-looking cases         (2 grey-1 black) but they WILL be modded.

 

 

 

 

Also have all cables and random stuff like mobo speakers,q connectors, bay covers and screws and a lot more. 

 

My budget for this build go with the quote "LESS IS MORE" so the more I can salvage from this inventory the better but keeping it under 150-170EUR including all extras (remote for htpc, maybe video card(s) and whatever you suggest) is a must.

 

Please help with these builds
