I never even knew such a thing existed.
My media server finally looks like a real server. lol.
There's no saving the cable management in this case, though. Specs:
Intel i5 4690k
32GB DDR3-1600
~21TB HDD storage
Suuuuper basic specs, but overkill for a simple Plex streaming server. I don't even convert video, just do direct play.
Sweet. I just upgraded to newer hardware, but was thinking about repurposing my i5 4690K, mobo, and ram to a media server. What OS are you using for the server?
I'm just using TrueNAS. I know basically nothing about how to use it, but setting it up is fairly straightforward. Any of the advanced features are entirely beyond me, though.
I settled on Linux Mint for mine late last year, but I always like to see what everyone else is running. Linux Mint was easy to setup. I'll likely keep using it for the new build. It is definitely a learning experience, though.
I run FreeBSD for my NAS, because I like zfs. I have a bunch of Sun SPARC rack servers that a company nearby was throwing out. I run Solaris 10 on them, and 8 and 9 in zones.
I would prefer to run my NAS on Solaris 10 but for some reason it refused to install on the box I'm using for my NAS, so FreeBSD was the next choice.
Very cool! What case is that?My media server finally looks like a real server. lol.
