Finally got all my components for my new PC. Will be converting my old PC into a NAS/Home server. I will be running an NAS, a linux VM, and a windows VM. Should I virtualize an NAS server in proxmox or should I just use unraid? I Plan to passthrough an GPU to my windows VM.

Background: I work in a small game studio, currently we have six branches in development, each branch needs multiple dedicated build machines (easier to manage). Currently, we are using threadrippers with Proxmox to virtualize multiple machines, Since some of our branches only needs to build once per week, CPU resources can be allocated to other VM's which might build daily. Repos for each of our branches is around 500G, The problem: We are running into long build times with our two current workstations, we want to add a third. However I feel that this is not as cost effective as dedicated instances. However, with dedicated instances, we are unable to share CPU resouces for machines that currently does not have a build running. I'm not sure if a storage is viable (io wise) for such game repos, where we can pull an intire repo in a resonable time to an dedicated instance and build that way. Does anyone have expierence on such projects?

Looking for a prebuilt (as graphics card are hard to get right now) that can run Ubuntu on an Intel Platform, and Nvidia graphics card for cuda acceleration under 1600. Mainly used to train CNN, which SI should I go with

Since we are using it not only as an storage server， m.2 caching might have a difference I guess (local io and stuff)

We would need some form of redundancy just to keep it running during the day and allowing us to rebuild the drive during night. Right now we are thinking about getting 24 870 4T evos, 4 drives for each RAIDZ1 and 2 4T SN750 for cache. As I understand, when one drive fails I don't have to take the PC offline?

We have 10G LAN running to everywhere that matters

Looking for a case that can support ~24 drives and fit an NH-U14S to cool a threadripper 3970x. I was looking at 4u server racks than realized that the cooler won’t fit in a 4U chassis

Yeah we are looking into the 870 EVO's as well. Having trouble on deciding what HBA's to use. Not sure the difference between LSI 9200/9300 are. Still googling for information

Our data is being saved on an dedicated server, this is being used just as an build machine. Each of our branch needs around 6.5TB, and we need to maintain ~8 branches on this machine. HDD's are just too slow in random writes for our usecase.

Need an new build server for our game studio, currently looking at ThreadRipper 3970X + 256G of memory. Need help with the storage solution, will need around 60TB of high speed (ideally all SSD storage) with future expandability. I know that going with HBA's will allow us better expandability in terms of storage in the future instead of populating all the SATA and M.2 ports on the motherboard. Currently have a budget around 13-14k to start with.

I believe it’s m.2 e-key

Is it possible to swap out the intel ac WiFi card with an ax one, or is it limited by the bios to only support that specific card

Looking for ANSI, but thanks I’ll try searching with southpaw

Are there any keyboards that have the numpad or numpad and arrow keys on the left hand side that also utilizes ANSI layout? DSI seems to have one but only ISO layout.
