  1. On the WAN Linus was saying his projector was a bit on the loud side for his theater, so my video suggestion is "Watercooling my Epson LS12000 projector"
  2. Thanks for responding so quickly! That's basically all I needed to know (so far)
  3. Oh amazing! I'll be getting that one then
  4. I've already got the case Its doable, but I'll be testing it before I get the drives and it wouldn't be the end of the world if I can only get 8 drives it I already thought I would be able to get 8 in anyways when buying the case mmm okay fair seeing as ECC isn't required I'm not gonna bother trying with high end CPU and server MBs Would the following card be a good choice then? (I'm in Belgium so ebay usually isn't really handy to use for me and they aren't too expensive on amazon it seems) https://www.amazon.de/-/en/LSIMegaRAID-9260-8i-LSI00198-RAID0-1-5-6-Controller/dp/B07ZVVVS9S/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3NBVI9HEPX213&keywords=LSI+SAS&qid=1650222118&sprefix=lsi+sas%2Caps%2C66&sr=8-6 (With 8 drives connected to the card in IT mode and 2 drives connected through the MB)
  5. Hi Techtips people, I'll start with saying I'm a big noob and have basically only seen any LMG video on this topic! (with the exception that I have build PCs before, but with the software and RAID I'm fully in new territory) I'm trying to make a Freenas based file server that will be running Plex Primarily. My biggest question is directed to the RAID setup. From what I've seen software raid should be fine with the build I'm looking to do and afaik a motherboard that supports RAID should do fine in that case. What I'm not sure about is if the Sata controller (PCIe) I picked out will be okay, my MB doesn't have enough Sata ports so I'll need an expansion card. I'd also like to know if I do need ECC memory or just normal RAM will be good enough? Currently chosen parts: Case - Fractal Design Node 804 CPU - I7-9700K (already have it, currently in-use but I'll be upgrading my PC anyways, so why not use it for the NAS) MB - GIGABYTE B365M H RAM - Not sure yet, I could use the RAM I already will have after the PC upgrade (G.Skill 16 GB DDR4-3000, F4-3000C16D-16GTZR, duel channel), but I'm uncertain if I need ECC memory Storage - 10x Ironwolf HDDs 8tb in RAID 6 & a 250gb SSD as boot drive Sata controller - BEYIMEI PCI-E to SATA3.0 10-Port 6Gbps Extended IPFS Hard Drive PCI-E3.0 GEN3 SATA Controller https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B095SJKMC9/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A3CN81AGS5D0VV&psc=1 PSU - 750W (already have it) Cooler - NZXT Kraken X62 280mm AIO (already have it) Also another quick note, I'm under the understanding that I can't add HDDs to the RAID 5/6 storagepool after it is created? So I'll have to make the pool with 10 HDDs already in the system, right? Any other tips/recommendations are most definitely welcome!
  6. True, that's what I meant Linus rated! I trust you pick only the best of screwdrivers if you're going to sell it with your name on it! Maybe work with them on this? I mean you've been promoting their screwdriver for ages now . PS. waiting on de swacked to make the store for my order, any ETA for when that will be?
  7. @LinusTech Hi Linus, will it be possible (or will you think about a way) to get a year subscription (once they come back) as an OG at the OG price for a year? Just wondering if it would be possible! Thanks anyway if you think about it!
  8. I want a Linus rated, Linus branded screwdriver! Anybody else? @LinusTech
  9. can't you put the edit here on the forum? that should work right?
  10. I like the left one the most, then the right one and the middle one the least
  11. I'm not expecting early release, but I would still like the option of watching it on the floatplane forum/site! And I don't know what ads and such are in the TL videos and if those would be in FP versions if it isn't early access
  12. just because I'm curious, how many delidded tickets were there
  13. since it isn't realistic to ask for LTX to be more accessible to people from Europe, I would like to see some old build possible to buy, like I heard (I think luke, maybe linus as well) didn't know what to do with the old awesome builds instead of taking them down, there are a lot of people that would wanne buy those awesome builds! I would also like to meet you guys (like it was at LTX 2017) (and if I can come ) Oh and everybody from LMG has to have a load of fun there!!! BTW question, now that Luke isn't LMG staff anymore will he be at LTX? just wondering
  14. I would ofcourse like more FP exclusive vlogs and such, but I do enjoy the extra's if they are there and in the mean while support LMG, I think that's worth 3 bucks a month! Certainly during the holidays I didn't expect a lot of FP exclusives because I noticed (and read a lot of comments of LMG employees) that LMG is very busy this time of year. So I could see how you feel there isn't enough excluse content now, but I would guess that once the holiday season is over there will be more of that (at least I can only hope)
