The 2 drives are in a ZFS mirror. Looking at my current usage, I don't think I will run out of space for at least the next 5 years after some cleaning up of duplicate files. If I need more capacity, my path would be to get higher capacity drives and add my current drives to my offsite backup machine.

I will also have 2 1TB M.2 Nvme SSDs for my applications that will live on this box. I just didn't list them because they don't really matter for picking a case

Nas, Minecraft servers and a Media server for now. Minecraft servers, especially modded ones can get quite intense on the CPU

I am trying to pick a case for my home server upgrade. Region: Taiwan Budget for case: 5000 TWD (Aim for 150 USD as things in Taiwan tends to be a bit more expensive) System Specs AMD Ryzen 9 5900X or Ryzen 7 5800X (haven’t decided yet) ASUS ProArt B550 Motherboard OR ASUS Strix B550-XE (depending on availability but layout is the same so shouldn’t matter which one I end up with) Nvidia GT210 (for display output) Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition Seasonic Focus GX 850 (Old version, not ATX3.0) Storage devices (excluding M.2): 2x 3.5’ 7200RPM HDD 2x 2.5’ SSD I haven’t chosen a cooler. Maybe going to slap on a ID Cooling SE-224-XT I have lying around but that Noctua passive cooler also looks like a legit option. The following aspects are important for this build: Acoustic Performance The machine is going to sit in a bedroom. While I understand that at full load it is going to make some noise, I would like it to be near silent at idle with drives spinning. The vibration from HDDs can’t cause the whole case to vibrate with it. (cough cough FSP) I’m not against swapping the stock fans with high quality ones (Not Noctua but maybe something cheaper) Size Yes I know I got an ATX board. However I would still like the case to be as compact as possible so that it doesn’t take up as much space. Thermals The system shouldn’t throttle or sound like it is going to take off under a full system stress test with normal ambient temperatures (<30C) However, the ambient temperatures for this place can get quite high when no one is home and the AC isn’t running during the summer, around 40C. In this case I don’t mind it ramping up its fans as long as the system doesn’t cook itself to death. Current Candidates These are my current picks but I’m open to other suggestions as long as it isn’t from FSP because their build quality and design with cases is bad in general Fractal Define 7 Compact This looks like a promising option, though I’m a bit concerned about its thermals since it’s more geared towards noise deadening than airflow. Fractal Meshify 2 Compact I’m a bit concerned about noise at idle but this might be quieter than the define 7 compact under high load.

It becomes unresponsive but doesn't hard shut down.

I recently setup a server running Jellyfin and a Caddy reverse proxy on Ubuntu Server 23.04. There is no other software running on this machine outside of system services. However I noticed that this system would randomly crash about once a day. Specs are as follows: Intel Core i5-9400F ASUS B360-F DDR4 8GB Single Stick 2400mt/s 2x WD Green 120GB SSD (Media is mounted to this host via a SMB share) Intel Arc A750 GPU FSP Hexa 85+ 350w PSU What might be the problem and how do I troubleshoot this thing? UPDATE: I ran Memtest86+ on it and it passed

Have a few lying around, trying to repurpose hardware that is otherwise useless

I'm planning an rebuild/upgrade to my NAS and also building a media server using Jellyfin. Current NAS I have: AMD Ryzen 3 3100 ASUS B450M-A Kingston DDR4-2400 8GB ECC FSP HEXA 85+ 350w power supply WD Green 120GB SSD (Boot Drive) 3x 6TB NAS drive (2xHGST, 1xToshiba) Unraid Basic What I plan to do: Put New Drives and convert to TrueNAS Scale Replace Case with Silverstone CS351 Put Old Drives in a spare system as offsite backup Build another system for jellyfin to live on Questions for NAS: What drive config would be better for reliability? 2x16TB Mirrored or 3x8TB Raid Z1? Would it make sense to have 2 SSDs (Maybe Crucial MX500) mirrored as a cache for 1GbE Network? How does not having ECC effect ZFS? Plans for Media Server: Intel Core i5-9400F Intel Arc A380 GPU (For AV1 Hardware Encoding) Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS + Jellyfin Mount directory from NAS over SMB or NFS for media library Remote access through port forwarding and nginx reverse proxy Questions for media server: How does not having PCIe ReBar affect Arc in terms of media encoding and decoding? Are there any more severe general issues with Arc on Linux?

yes it is on full

I have a vega 64 GPU and FAH shows that it is disabled driver version is 21.6.1

Specs: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X DDR4-3600 CL16 16GBx2 ASUS B550-A Radeon Firepro W7100 AMD Radeon Software for Enterprise 21.Q2.1 Windows 10 Pro 21H1 Game plays fine but the output of OBS is barely even 30fps, looks more like 15fps even when output is set to 720p 30fps. Encoding using Both x264 and AMF experience this issue.

Most games simply don't say anything regarding the use of VMs. They only say that cheating is not allowed.

There have been many reports about getting banned by anticheat for using a VM. I want to try sth like 8 gamers 1 cpu between multiple friends. Is there a list of what games are safe and what are not?

1Gb

Huawei lol. ANYTHING CHINESE (Especially when dealing with data) GETS THROWN OUT EITHER THE DOOR OR THE WINDOW IF SOMEONE EVER GIVES RELATED CRAP TO ME

I know that intel is the industry standard but I don’t always have that much spare money to buy intel NICs. How do these brands stack up against intel? Primarily looking at 1GbE Nics 1. Realtek - cheap, Common on lower end motherboards these days 2. Broadcom - Super cheap second hand, often found in macs as well 3. Atheros - These are on some old Gigabyte motherboards and idk if they are good 4. Marvell - I have some old LGA775 motherboards that have these 5. Nvidia Nforce - I have a AM2 Board that has this

On the AMD side Epyc and Ryzen have THE EXACT SAME DIE lol

And the i3-7100 supports ECC ram

How about going with Ryzen or older AMD platforms which also supports ECC

Are there Free alternatives that has the same level of drive support?
