I think you and Zog are onto something. I've been looking on ebay - I will want SATA drives though.

Mostly hardware - but you bring up a good point. I am not afraid of alternative software systems if that is what you mean. Thanks!

So, I am really trying to collect the info I need for this project, and it has been elusive. I want to build a server - I've built a few in the distant past - but this one is different. I posted this in the LTT suggestion thread - but got some feedback that made it sound like my original solution was not a very good one. And it would help me out (yes - I'm shameless) if you all might help me. And It might be fun. What I would like. A server "system": NAS (RAID 1) that is a media server/center (music and video both from stored server files and also services) which can also act as an automated backup, network level ad blocker, and home security system. Gaming would be nice - but not a requirement. Although, serving up Steam I would be willing to pitch in for a good GPU for. Hell - throw in optional bit mining - I do not care. Other "Rules" Cheap - goal of <$400 (excluding drives and any cameras, and redundant power solution (but not the primary power supply)). Can have more than 1 sub-system - like Zeros for a Pi Hole - but must be (generally) manageable as a single system. Has to appear professionally built (yeah - no hot glue or tape) Needs to be in a single box (or possibly 2) - no more than 4U tall total. Must stream video to at least one TV (HDMI is OK if the rest of it is otherwise wireless - Or it can have Ethernet to the network if the rest is wireless (no HDMI)). Redundant power or at least a backup power source (e.g. APC). Ability to be remotely backed up (think Carbonite or similar) Doesn't have issues with Mac or PC or *nix. Rack mount or HTPC case Maximum Load requirements: Watch a movie seamlessly while another user is listening to music while keeping up with security duties and tracking blocks. I realize that technically this may have to be more than one system - but all in one box. Think outside the box - this does not have to be AMD or Intel. Originally I wanted to do the entire thing with Pi. I'm not afraid of creative solutions. Like...post armageddon solutions. The problem is budget - if I were building a server back in the day (but doing it today) it would approach $10K. I am too stuck in things like needing Xeons, two PSUs, 32 gigs of RAM, etc..... Last time I tried to use a "PC" as a server it just didn't really workout - Ended up grabbing a Thecus NAS which gave incredible bang for buck and ease of use - but also quickly showed limitations. My knowledge is out of date - so I am looking for solutions. And if this is not interesting to you - well thank for reading this far. I won't be disappointed by getting only a few replies. I wouldn't reply probably!

A conversation for a different thread. I don't want to clutter this one more. But I will think on what you said - it is not how I have approached servers before (but neither are Pi's). EDIT

Thanks - Partially true - but mainly to be cheap. EDIT: Honestly - thanks for reading it - I feel I didn't waste my time and that LTTF is more than a cattle ranch. The right tool for the job would be ~10K. I was hoping for less than $1000. But I get what you are saying. I'll maybe document it myself - if I can figure it out.

Well - you could - but you would have to wire a charge controller up. Something like this might work directly (on a sunny day) though: https://smile.amazon.com/Sunnytech-100ma-Module-Polysilicon-Charger/dp/B008J9BZIA/ref=pd_bxgy_2/138-7205416-2778644?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B008J9BZIA&pd_rd_r=76a4d87c-ba9d-4353-8ede-4a0146a2ebd5&pd_rd_w=KpwtS&pd_rd_wg=25hmf&pf_rd_p=fd08095f-55ff-4a15-9b49-4a1a719225a9&pf_rd_r=2TM9CD5ZGXGDS663W33N&psc=1&refRID=2TM9CD5ZGXGDS663W33N But iPhones are picky (thanks Apple). Don't blame folks here if you fry one. You might have better luck with Mangos.

So, I am really trying to collect the info I need for this project, and it has been elusive. I want to build a server - I've built a few in the distant past - but this one is different. I think it might be a cool multi-video project if done in phases. And it would help me out (yes - I'm shameless). Maybe even make the final plans available in the shop for a fee. After I get a free copy of course - for the idea (did I mention I am shameless?). What I would like. A server "system". Raspberry Pi based NAS (RAID 1) that is a media server (music and video) which can also act as an automated backup, Pi Hole, and home security system. Other "rules" <$400 (excluding drives and any cameras, and redundant power solution (but not the primary power supply)). Can have more then 1 Pi -including Zero's - but must be (generally) manageable as a single system. Has to use a Pi 4 B as part of it. Has to appear professionally built (yeah - no hot glue or tape) Needs to be in a single box (or possibly 2) Must stream video to at least one TV (HDMI is OK is the rest of it is otherwise wireless - Or is can have Ethernet to the network if the rest is wireless). Redundant power or at least a backup power source (APC). Ability to be remotely backed up (think Carbonite or similar) Doesn't have issues with Mac or PC. Rack mount or HTPC case Maximum Load requirements Watch a movie seamlessly while another user is listening to music while keeping up with security duties and tracking blocks. I realize that technically this may have to be more than one system - but all in one box. Now, I know there will be folks around here that are not interested because this is not a game box - it's not AMD or Intel - it's not what they think of as "big guns". However, I do think it will get hits and have good residual hits if done in parts because I know I am not the only who wants to do this.."One Pi to Rule Them All" thing. With all that brain power LTT has, I suspect this would be easy. Done taking your time. Though I do wonder if you all even read this stuff.

Ah - I thought about this - but I didn't see anything. However, you might be right.

Ya know - I didn't know that! The OS is 64bit.

Hmm....I do not get this. This is not an AMD system. DISM Log for for ScanHealth: ================================= Checking System Update Readiness.

EDIT - 2 hours later I long for the old MPC Com[port] - when folks actually looked at this stuff and there were a million members. Of course it was also a flame soup. But back then folks fed on this stuff. These day I will likely be told to just nuke and pave.

If I am in the wronf folder - sorry. But I saw other problems posted here So, Win 8.1 Pro 64 - refreshed recently. Can't update, chokes on updates KB3044374 and KB3161949. It seems to be specific to these two updates. So I did the DISM scanhealth - succeeded - says "repairable". But no matter what I do, I can't get it through DISM... /RestoreHealth. PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth /Source:E:\sources\install.wim:1 /LimitAccess Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.3.9600.19408 Image Version: 6.3.9600.19397 [==========================100.0%==========================] Error: 0x800f081f The source files could not be found.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log I know this is not uncommon - especially in Win 10, but none of the tricks are working for me. And BTW - "E:" is the MS disk - not a copy or mounted image - right form the mothership. Running SFC /SCANNOW at the moment. Any help?

May have found the problem.....with another device on the circuit. Ill update tomorrow.

I was not sure where to post this....apologies if I got it wrong. So, looks like I either have a PSU or MB going out on a system and I need to upgrade. Its been a while since I have done this - I usually recycle parts, but all of my stuff is now pretty out of date. Last CPU I bought was likely in 2014. Q1: If I replace the MB (even with an LGA 1150 like I have), will Windows (8.1 Pro 64) then "deactivate"? And Yes - I like 8.1 Pro - mine is metro-stripped Q2: What is the best LGA 1150 board still around (available new or NOS/NIB)? Q3: If I have to retire the CPU as well - what can I get with equal performance (i5 4670K). I want a baseline to compare to - I am on a budget and this system still performs at a fine level for me. Q4: I want to stay intel if possible (just a preference) and this is not a good time for intel. If I went AMD, I would need to populate an entire MB (CPU and RAM) - what would be a good combo? All the questions are important because I might use the opportunity to build two systems (one around the old CPU). And thanks for excusing the dumb questions. These days my work doesn't allow me to keep up with PC tech like it used to.

So, it just shut down.....30 seconds later I touched the MB and it restarted, I just touched it....nothing else.

So, Update, I did the refresh (serious pain) and the problem is still there. Event logs don't mention the disk. I think it is either the MB or the PSU. It actually is losing power for a moment or being shut down - the fans spin down. PSU?
