I would like to see Linus try it. I think it would be a fun little experiment.

Is that usually the case when it comes to buying panels on AliExpress?
-
A panel and a control for a $600 monitor is around $200.

Something like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32965253106.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.77f753d5BKI1yl&algo_pvid=f680a762-e14d-44db-8da7-227adf6e1b00&algo_expid=f680a762-e14d-44db-8da7-227adf6e1b00-0&btsid=19cdb9a9-f49b-423f-b011-e0a3b2c86396&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_8,searchweb201603_52

I got this idea after the DIY monitor video... what if I bought the panel from a 1440p 144hz monitor like the ASUS PG279Q and a control board to go with it. Could I technically make my own gaming monitor just by building my own case and VESA mount for it? Use some aluminum on the inside for the VESA mount and 3D print a case and bezel for it... Has anyone tried this? I'm very tempted because you can get a fully functioning monitor for less than half the price.

unRaid really isn't that good of a hypervisor. It's more designed to be a NAS. I would recommend using VMware ESXi and then running a FreeNAS VM and a game server VM.
-
Most motherboards and CPUs support virtualization. For CPUs they have to have VT-x. Motherboards should be fine. As long as you have a hypervisor running, you can do VMs. As for hypervisors, I recommend VMware's ESXi.

Build a NAS with Old Server Gear that can be used for other things as well?

I will be willing to join. -
Ok cool! Thank you for your help!
-
Probably not
-
Cool so this is kinda overkill unless I want to use it for something else. If I am only going to use it for a NAS, what parts do you recommend? I want to place it in a rack mount case. If I do get a more powerful PC with used Server parts, what else can I use it for?

A NZXT C340 is pretty nice

Do cables in modular psu have to be fully plugged in?
BrianXShen replied to Skaidar's topic in Power Supplies
Well if they do ever fall out from movement. Your computer won’t be running so well. I would recommend plugging them in completely. -
Hi LTT Community, I got this idea of using Old Server hardware that one can buy on eBay to build my own NAS. I saw the video on the LTT channel from 3 weeks ago where Linus builds a computer from an Old Server motherboard and used 4 CPUs. I want to do something like that. I might not need 4 CPUs for a NAS. Also, I would want to be able to fit it into a Server Rack Mount Case. Any my help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
