Media server/NAS help

[Heisenblu]

Hi guys and girls! Been a massive fan of LTT on youtube for years now but never joined the forum till now. Key reason for this is that most of the tech that is reviewed is priced way out of my budget and/or impossible to get some parts in the UK. However....

I've been making up cheap PC's to give away to local low income families lately and someone donated a heap of stuff for me to use. In this pile was a nice big full tower coolermaster case with an Intel D5400XS Desktop Board inside with dual Intel Xeon E5450 on board and 12GB of DDR2 memory. The guy that it came from said that he'd never managed to get it to work, there was no power supply, IO shield installed or anything else in the case other than the populated board.

I had a play around with it and managed to get it to post, threw in a cheap graphics card and a few HDD's i had laying around and installed windows to see how it ran. I've attached the latest HWINFO log file so you can see what I'm working with here.

 

My question for you all is this: I'm looking for a reliable mediaserver and NAS setup to run on this unit that can cater for two windows machines the kids use, an Imac that I use, can serve media files to the home network with reliable folder polling, (had issues with FreeNAS before with not polling and updating the server database..) and the ability to run game servers and probably home automation controllers. Either remote desktop or web interface would work, just as long as it's moderately easy to update/install/addon as I don't have loads and loads of spare time to be able to sit there and program/babysit the machine.

At the moment I'm running Windows 10 Pro with Serviio and SMB shares to all the connected computers but the Mac obviously can't Timemachine to a windows system.

 

Any advice? any software to look at? I like the motherboard and CPU's setup even if they are EOL as in windows it seems really stable and even running windows 10 it's not slow..

 

Thanks guys!!
