Hey everyone Just wanted to update and thank y'all for your help! I've had my server up and running for a few months now and it's awesome! Just a quick question I'm using these drives Seagate ST4000NM0115 4TB Exos 7E8 SATA NAS HDD 3.5 Inch 7200 RPM Hard Drive https://a.co/d/2MJk4UY And I have this case HP EliteDesk 800 G3 https://www.ebay.com/itm/314491238701 I don't like how I have the hard drives stuck in any spot that fits and would also like to have the ability to add more drives. Any ideas for how I can organize them? Are there any drive holders that would fit in this case?

Really appreciate your help on this! Was a little concerned to go w/ 7 gen but glad u feel its ok Tysm!

I'm thinking i5/i7 does that make sense? Also what's the minimum generation CPU I should use? @will0hlep @Dedayog @voyager_

I plan to use something like easeus/clonezilla to backup my desktop/laptops

I've been looking at used office prebuilts (Dell optiplex, HP Elitedesk) is that not worth it? What should I look out for? What should be the minimum specs? Edit: Does something like this make sense?

Thanks for your quick reply! If I only have 1GB networking any reason for me to go for the 2.5 network card?

Budget (including currency): $200 USD Country: USA Use Case: Jellyfin, PC backups, photo storage backups from family phones, and home assistant Other details: I'm not looking for anything fancy, just something reliable that does the job, no bells and whistles needed. Looking to start out with about 5 TB storage with the ability to add more down the line I already have Goldkey 16GB DDR4 PC2666 CL19 (2x8) Inland 256GB 2.5" SATA SSD Crucial 500GB M.2 2880 My questions: Does my budget make sense to be able to purchase the rest of what I need? If above answer is no then what do you think I need to save up until? If yes then any suggestions? Thinking about using TrueNAS does that make sense for my use case? P.S. If you haven't noticed yet i'm still a newbie at this so any help is appreciated!

I am trying to use a program called Twinkle Tray to control my external monitor brightness. I have 2 exactly the same monitors. The plugged into DVI through an DVI -> HDMI adaptor works perfectly but the one plugged directly into HDMI is not working However, when I switch the HDMI one into the DVI port then it does work This makes me think there is something wrong with the HDMI port or some setting Any suggestions? PC Specs AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics 3.80 GHz Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2

SSD I even added more ram but didn't help

Good morning everyone! So I purchased a new laptop a few months ago (Acer Aspire A515-54). I'm coming from a Lenovo (don't remember the exact model) but this laptop has better specs and it runs slower! I can't figure out why. Can anyone direct me in the correct direction?

Hi everyone. So I'm using Dell S2409Wb with a Chromecast. I connected a device to be able to listen to the audio on bluetooth headphones but the volume is really low. I have a feeling it's because of the bluetooth transmitter. Any tips?
