I don't think the issue is with the game, as I am playing on a 1070 8GB and have not had a crash once... Maybe it's a driver issue, windows issue or even a card issue...?

I was seriously considering moving to the OnePlus 6, when I saw the costs of the new iPhones. I upgraded from a iPhone 7 Plus. When I got to the shop, I was playing with the Android phones and was instantly reminded why I never switched back, since testing the iPhone the first time. The reasons why I chose to spend my money on an iPhone again: 1. Smooth OS 2. New OS available to everyone, from launch 3. Everything just works out of the box 4. Easiest phone switch experience 5. I am happy with the camera 6. One of the best sounding speakers on a phone (See video from UT) 7. Bragging rights. :-P I went for the iPhone Xs Max, because I wanted the bigger screen.

Ask them if you can get a cheaper VPS first and them show them what you do with it. Once they see that, you can tell them that the VPS ins't fast enough anymore and that you would like their permission to get a server. Also, you can't use the word cloud, if your raspberry is running at home on consumer network gear and a home internet connection.

If you want to play with and learn KVM/QEMU/Hyper-V, why not just rent a I7 server from hetzner and leave your pc for the gaming?

Erm, what did you have before this?

Not sure if I am missing something, but why not use Raspberrys or Arduinos? Or is it because they need to play minecraft as well?

Are you using http or https? Internal IP or external IP?

Was the file, you tested with, an 8bit or 10bit file? On a side note, I used my i7 770k pc as plex server. I was unable to stream 4K content to my TV. Also buffering the whole time. So, did some research and ended up getting a HTPC with a GT 1030 in, because I needed 4K HVEC 10bit decoding. My setup is now perfect, using a Dell 3040 with I3 6100, 8GB ram and a GT 1030. I have tested numorous media players and they all failed at 4K. So, first of all, I would say the issue is with your TV and Xbox, but IIRC the Xbox should be able to do HVEC decoding.

~$135 100/50mbps Vodacom Fibre in South-Africa.

This. For us South-Africans, 100mnps at home is a fairly new thing, but its more than what we need. 4x phones, 1x 4K tv, 3x computers. I'm paying $135/month.

The 8GB sticks are the non-ECC sticks, which he says is working...?

Yeah, keep us posted and ask if you have questions. I am sure the guys/gals will help with pleasure.

If it's just for fun, follow those videos (using UnRaid). It will work and should be a nice learning curve. Wish I could play with toys like those.

Will work the same. Also, if the server costs $1200, why not buy a gaming PC? Being in China, you should get the cheapest prices on computer components?

Also, boot times for those R720 are long. Definitely doable though. Look at the Linus videos: 2 Gamers, 1 CPU and 7 Gamers, 1 CPU. Sounds like this is what you want to do.

Agreed, get a DynDNS account and create a CNAME record on your domain to point to that something.dyndns.com name.

Okay, so it took me 2 days to go through this thread. 1 think I did notice, a huge "upgrade" in CPU horsepower from 2014 to 2017. Guessing its because the NAS isn't just a NAS anymore, but most are now VM Hosts as well. Learn a lot from this thread and time to start planning my own NAS now.

Good day, I have a HP ML 350 G6 server lying around. It seems the power supply backplane board is faulty. Since I already wasted money on buying new PSUs from the US (I stay in South Africa) and don't want to spend more money, I was thinking of moving the motherboard to a normal case. My problem is, the motherboard has a 22pin and 16pin power connector. I am unable to find needed info to mod a normal PSU, to connect to this board. 1. Is this possible? 2. If possible, please point me in the right direction. A replacement PSB seems to be around USD150 and that is a lot of money to spend on something I am not sure will fix the problem.
