Hi.
I came down the same road already one year ago...
From my experience I strongly recommend the use of INTEL server mainboards and XEON CPU.
I have directly compared the i7 with a similar XEON and the server setup sounded much better.
But do yourself a favour and check the JPLAY software too. To my ears JRiver is not in the same class SQ wise....
