Its exactly the same method - http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/How_to_assign_devices_with_VT-d_in_KVM
You can also achieve the same thing in KVM in GUI as well.

Nice video, but a few things are bothering me about it.
 
Don't pay for the Lime Tech Unraid server, just get the FREE copy of KVM. No point in paying for something that's free (Unraid is just running KVM). I noticed in the video you have changed your DNS to Googles DNS... why? No point in doing that on end devices, I then noticed that you had to use the server IP to connect to the web console. The reason you had to do this was because it's now not contacting your local DNS server (aka your Router), it's now contacting Googles DNS. A question for you Linus, did you have any Input lag at all? If the motherboard has split USB controllers you can pass through each of them and get 0 input lag.

I did something like this just recently, I was running VMWare ESXI 6.0 and had Passed through a GFX card per system (IE: 1 GFX card if I was just doing one system and 2 if I wanted 2 systems) and it was almost lag free (I think it was about 2-3 Ms delay. It was pretty great.

Likewise. My kids' computers will all be like this -- just an HDMI and USB port in the wall, connected somewhere else.

How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?
None – It’s a hardware problem
 

 
Why do programmers always mix up Halloween and Christmas?
Because Oct 31 equals Dec 25.
 

 
A man is smoking a cigarette and blowing smoke rings into the air.
His girlfriend becomes irritated with the smoke and says, “Can’t you see the warning on the cigarette pack?  Smoking is hazardous to your health!”
To which the man replies, “I am a programmer.  We don’t worry about warnings; we only worry about errors.”

A young Programmer and his Project Manager board a train headed through the mountains on its way to Wichita. They can find no place to sit except for two seats right across the aisle from a young woman and her grandmother. After a while, it is obvious that the young woman and the young programmer are interested in each other, because they are giving each other looks. Soon the train passes into a tunnel and it is pitch black. There is a sound of a kiss followed by the sound of a slap.
When the train emerges from the tunnel, the four sit there without saying a word.
 
The grandmother is thinking to herself,
“It was very brash for that young man to kiss my granddaughter, but I’m glad she slapped him.”
 
The Project manager is sitting there thinking,
“I didn’t know the young tech was brave enough to kiss the girl, but I sure wish she hadn’t missed him when she slapped me!”
 
The young woman was sitting and thinking,
“I’m glad the guy kissed me, but I wish my grandmother had not slapped him!”
 
The young programmer sat there with a satisfied smile on his face. He thought to himself,
“Life is good. How often does a guy have the chance to kiss a beautiful girl and slap his Project manager all at the same time!”

Update #1: I/O and control board

Little bit of an update The design for the I/O board and controller is done and parts have started to roll in.






I’m still waiting on a few things and am giving the PCB layout a bit of time to marinate before I place the order, something I like to do because when I come back to something after few days I often see things I may have missed in the heat of the moment or just have a fresh perspective with new ideas. I will probably put the order in this weekend so as to get the ball rolling though.


NOTE: This is outdated and has had some important alterations if you are using it as a reference, for more information please look at the note here

The rear I/O was selected with the lounge in mind so I went with optical and coaxial audio outputs, I adapted the DVI to HDMI, brought the Ethernet and 4x USB3.0 headers out and the controller will connect to the internal USB2.0 header on the motherboard. Those USB3.0 headers were an absolute nightmare to route too, so many wires in such a tight space with the through hole pins taking up a lot of board real-estate all the while having to be mindful of the tracer pairs - it’s probably not that important over such a short distance but better safe the sorry right?


I have mainly been working on lighting control lately, I have a test board with an RGB LED strip setup and have put together a control GUI that will allow you to adjust how the LEDs behave and set their colours, it will also allow you to turn the air pump on and off.
The current LED behaviour options are:
Off Solid Breathing 2 colour fade RGB cycle HDD activity  
I may add an option for the ‘HDD activity’ mode to allow it to change between hard cuts like in the video and various integration levels so the intensity/speed of the colour change is controlled by how active the drives are… I may also need to change it to ‘Drive activity’ mode too being there are no HDDs in this build

There are an additional two hardware switches on the back for basic controller functionality if you want to turn either the lights or the air pump on or off quickly and don’t want to login or boot up if the computers off to do it. The controller stores settings in an EEPROM so if the power is lost it will still boot to the last used settings and if you turn the lights on with the button on the back they will load back into their last set state.
The oil pump is setup to automatically turn on or off with the PC so it doesn’t have to be running when it’s not needed but the air pump and lights are independent of the PCs state because they are there for aesthetics.
The other buttons on the board are a rear exposed power button, an internal reset button and a clear CMOS button so I don’t have to go swimming if something does go wrong.
I have also left some spare ADCs exposed via a header in case I want to add to the board later, things like temperature sensors might be a bit of fun to have control the lighting etc. but that isn’t in the plan just yet… though thinking about it now it would be kinda cool and wouldn’t take much effort…

Other than that I have just updated the model a bit and have been figuring out wire and tubing routes, putting a model of the motherboard I am actually using in was a really good move as it made me realise my original I/O board layout was really impractical from a wiring point of view so I’m glad I took the time to do that even if it is a fairly incomplete model.

 

A steamy, passionate hell.  :lol:
 
Well, they are penetrating Mother Nature in the morning with young, virginal, fresh wood. And oh, will they grow and grow into strong, proud, erect trees. The unlucky ones will be cut down, reduced to stumps while the fortunate ones will decay, become weak, and limp after years of Mother Nature's ever-loving embrace and warm, nutritious, pocketed homes.  

Thanks guys
 
Update:
 
Leak test and Night shoot

 
 

 
 

 
i had a leak on CPU loop (back fitting on top rad) ,  my fault, forgot to tight it :oops:
 
i really like these night shoot, still need to see with fan led
pretty closed to the end

Thanks everyone, your comments are really appreciate
Update
DHL just give a gift from Portugal
just received my backplate and SLI cover
but for today, I show you only backplate for sound card :twisted: :ROFL:





GPU Backplate really soon

Searched for Sleeve that would match with this Paint.  Landing on Lava from Darkside.
 
 

 

 

Then there is this
 
 
 
 
 

 

If it just for gaming you don*t need the 4770K, you could go with a 4670k and spend the extra money towards a better graphics card

Check with LinusTech if you can sell it on the forum store

Duly noted

It's a good idea for a mod and could turn out really well, I just don't know if the heat from the inside of the system would harm the fishes

Hi Guys,
 
Just finished my LCD Smartie mod, using an Arduino and a OLED 16x2 character Display to show live PC Stats ETC.
 

 

 
You can see here how the OLED has amazing viewing angles compared to LCD

 
Here is a larger 20x4 character display 

This is one of the most awesome things I have ever seen, are there any tutorials for this anywhere ??

Well in about 20 mins time you will see the final build! and you may also see why I chose green LED's!

Aww, no white LED's! White LED's would have been PERFECT in this build! All of the green would just burst with vibrance! I vote change them to white! Other than that gorgeous build

Well I measured out what needed to be cut earlier and made the relevant cuts to allow me to have the 240mm radiators in the front
 
Chop chop by Mat Teague, on Flickr   That definitely isn't a empty bottle of captain morgans in the background...  :rolleyes:   Going to get some sort of filler to get rid of the holes around the 240mm radiator. I also had to take the front drive cage as this needs cutting down to allow the 240mm radiator in. Also I am only really going to be using three of the front bays so I am not too worried about loosing one. Chop chop by Mat Teague, on Flickr
