Hello, I'm currently looking to upgrade/build a Proxmox VM Server to host a Storage/File/Plex Server and a few misc Linux and Windows VMs. I currently have several separate machines which host these individual services. I would like to reuse an existing rack mounted case that I am currently...

Hi All, Looking for help/advice on a Server Upgrade... It looks like my server (in sig) is on it's last legs. Sometimes it boots, sometimes not so much. Anyways, as it's been a while since I've built a server I'm a bit out of the loop and would appreciate any advice/input the community can...

Hi All, Looking for help/advice on a Server Upgrade... I'm currently running Windows Server Essentials 2016 to primarily handle my backup/restores/shares and Stablebit Drivepool for storage pooling etc... However, I'm now thinking of streamlining this server and decommissioning a couple other...

Back in May, I posted a thread asking for assistance with a new/updated server build. Unfortunately, due to the current state of affairs with Covid etc... (or emerging state at that time), I was not able to pull the trigger on the new parts that were kindly recommended by sinisterDei and...

Well it's that time again. It's been a few years since I built my server. The OS has changed from WHS V1 to WHS 2011 and more recently to Windows Server Essentials 2016 (which has issues with backup/restores etc..). However, for the most part, the hardware has stayed pretty much the same for...

I am having some intermittent boot issues with my NORCO 4220 WHS Server (see sig). I believe the issue is related to an underpowered PSU and I would like to get some recommendations on PSU's that would accomodate my setup (specifically I'm concerned about getting a PSU that can support my 20+...

It's been a few years since I built my last desktop based upon the great recommendations from this site. Well it's time again to build a machine that will hopefully stick around as long as this one did. Unfortunately, it's been a few months since I did any serious research. At that time I...

Hello All, A couple of years ago I put together an HTPC with the components listed below (thanks again to those on this forum that helped me out at the time). Unfortunately, the system is starting to power down on it's own (sometimes while in use) and it's starting to occur more...

All, With a lot of help from members on this board, I finally put together a storage system that has all the requirements I need at the moment and appears to have all the growth potential I will need for sometime to come (Thanks again!). Now, here is my dilemma. In order to keep the...

All, I'm currently in the process of building a media server with all the bells and whistles. As part of that build I decided to put together an HTPC. I was going to go 'low end' but now I think I want something with some advanced features without getting to crazy on price. I will...

I have built several systems over the years. However, this will be my first 'actual' storage system. 'm planning on purchasing everything in about 3 weeks or so and it's a 'chunk of change'. Therefore, I would like to get any feedback possible from the experts here. Any thoughts...

I currently have a system with 2 drives configured in Raid 1. I originally did this to have a backup of a very large amount of data (mostly media etc.). I have decided now that I do not necessarily need the redundancy benefit of the Raid 1. After reading a number of posts on this forum...

I am going to be purchasing a new system in the next couple of days. Since I am planning on spending quite a bit of money I would appreciate a once over by any of you experts out there. Within reason of course, money is not a big issue as long as I get the best value for my dollar. Please...
