I've spent the last week reading and re-reading threads here and across google to try to come up with a build that balances physical size and capability and I think the following build may be close. The fact that the mini-itx motherboards only support up to 2 SATA III ports concerns me which is why I currently have a LSI Host Controller in the build. I plan to use this for network file sharing/streaming/utorrent. I would've preferred to get a build with 2x Intel NIC, but the mini-itx only has one PCIe slot, but then again I am unsure if it is necessary. Is this a decent/correct build? Any comments/suggestions/help is very much appreciated.
