RE: My New Server - thrak76 - 2014-05-05 Looks great! Nice job. I like that case too. Does it have 15 hot swap bays in that configuration? EDIT - of course it does. Just should've looked at the links more closely. RE: My New Server - tboggie - 2014-05-06 I like. Nice and Clean Are you running any unRAID plugins?

Nice and Cleani am not currently but i will probably install unMenu and a few others like sab and sickbeard maybe couch potato RE: My New Server - tboggie - 2014-05-07 Niceeee. Your CPU is more than capable of running those plugins. RE: My New Server - Vampirebat - 2014-05-10 I added a screenshot for my drive temps. So far its is running flawlessly and i have ordered three 5TB ext drives to use as backups which haven't arrived yet but ill give some thoughts on them once ive had a chance to use them. RE: My New Server - splnuts - 2014-05-10 Are you running any VM's or plan to use passthrough? I had trouble trying to enable passthrough on FM2 and switched to AM3.

I had trouble trying to enable passthrough on FM2 and switched to AM3.i am probably going to be running VM at some point because that seems to be the easiest way to setup pvr functions and configuring a cable card tuner without having to have a separate box running. but for the moment i am not and im not sure if im going to go for an internal tuner or go with a network attached tuner yet but my general preference is internal installed devices rather than having yet another box taking up shelf space so im leaning towards Ceton InfiniTV 6 or Ceton InfiniTV 6 ETH. |
