I want to run the server in RAID 5 and would like a RAID card, Motherboard suggestions, and case suggestions. I want the i7 Extreme so that I can do quick plex transcodes for my movie library, I also want to run a gaming server for civ 5 and civ 6. I am in the US and my budget is roughly $3500.

I know this. That's why I'd like to see actual benchmarks that give numbers using a small case like the node 202 as well as a case with radiatiors like an ncase m1 or sg13

This is kind of what I'm looking for but not really. People really stress the importance of blower in small form factor cases and I don't think it really improves performance drastically

It something I'd like to see in the workshop series. I bought a high end open air card and want to build in a SFF. I'd like to see benchmarks that compare performance in like a node 202 and in something like a ncase m1 that has a watercooled cpu

I'm looking for mitx motherboards that are either lga-1150 or lga-1151sockets. I want them to come with Bluetooth and wifi cards. I also want them to have an additional m.2 slot for an nvme ssd. Does anyone know of a motherboard that meets all of my requirements?

Would it be feasible to stream AAA titles using steam on this raspberry Pi if I have a high end custom pc elsewhere in my house?

I'm sure nothing at all. Just listen to this song from my Zune while I do some research.

Yeah I'm sure something new will come along. Really what I care about is that the 4K Blu-rays will have encryption that requires playback devices to download decryption keys from the Internet. That just wasn't the main point of the article and I didn't want to imply that it was.

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/02/next-gen-ultra-hd-blu-ray-discs-probably-wont-be-cracked-for-a-while/ Also 4K Blu-Rays will have two forms of encryption basic and enhanced. With enhanced requiring playback devices to download decryption keys from the Internet.
