I'm hypothetically (ie waiting for a windfall, which I should be due soonish) building a music server for friends at university, just something to hold all our music and run an iTunes share (mt-daapd), although probably as an sftp server and apache too if I can wing it...

Heneway, ideally I want to build it on a mini ITX spec, but I've no idea what sort of power they are capable of producing/what sort of power I'll need....

http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=2

seems to be the best source of mini-itx kit in the UK; if anyone can have a scan over and throw up some recommendations that'd be great :)
