  1. Hey everyone, Thanks for taking the time to read my post. After watching the multiple editors one case and two gamers one CPU videos by linus, in addition to being pestered by my partner to play on my PC as she doesn't have her own, I've been inspired to possibly do something similar myself. I would like to build an unraid based VM that can run a few things. First, I'd like to run a plex server. Second, I'd like to have two gaming VMs. Lastly, as I'm a data scientist, I'd like a third VM that would use the resources of the two gaming PCs to run models when needed. Currently I have a pc with the following specs and I would add another cheap Gpu (e.g. GT 710) to run unraid and an extra 16GB of RAM so both gaming PCs would have 16GB. Processor: 7820x (8c16t) @4.7GHz all core OC Gpu: gtx 1080 x2 RAM: 16GB corsair vengeance Several SSDs and a large capacity HDD. My plan for the VMs would be to give the two gaming PCs 6 processing cores and the plex server 4 to allow for transcoding and 4K playback. My main questions are as follows: 1) What performance hit could I expect to see in comparison with my current set up, bearing in mind many games SLI support sucks and I run games at 4K? 2) If both the gaming PCs are off, how would the power consumption of the plex server compare to that of a raspberry pi? Does unraid still power both the primary GPUs even when the VMs are off? 3) Would it be possible to have the third VM that uses all my system resources if the cores and Ram are assigned to other VMs (even when both gaming VMs are powered off). Thanks again for taking the time to read and reply to this.
