Hello guys,

It's time to upgrade my old pc. I have been thinking about this project for
one month, now i'll explain it.

One linux machine with xen installed will host 3 virtual machines. One will
be running linux + plex and this will be the HTPC, the other two virtual
machines will run Windows. I don't need hi-end graphics, the objective is
to obtain a good balance between calcolus power and power consumption. In
such way I will have a computer for myself, for my family and HTPC.

What about firewall, web server, squid, MTA and other services you might
want to run, and what about storage?

"Fast", "low power consumption" and "low budget" are somewhat mutually
exclusive, especially when you add several graphics cards.

The old dogma says: "Cheap, fast, reliable - pick any two."

Cheap and fast?  How would that go together?

It'd be unreliable.
