Greetings everyone.
I want to build a ultra low power (<10 watts) Linux based media server that will run 24/7. Do not care much about high performance since most of my media is ripped flacs.
If possible, I would like to make it an access point (rather than a WiFi client) and run DHCP server on it. The other APs in the house will work in bridged mode.
I was thinking of Raspberry Pi 2 + Wifi Dongle + a 2.5 inch HDD enclosure (+maybe a USB hub).

I was wondering if there are better ways to go about it. I have a NAS that handles the heavy duty work but I hate keeping it on all the time (guzzles power).
