So a couple of nights ago lightning struck just outside of my house. I didn't realize until the next morning but there were several casualties. I lost my cable modem (which Spectrum replaced for free) two monoprice 8 port switches, a 4x hdmi switch and my relatively old but previously bulletproof unraid server which would no longer turn on. I ordered a replacement power supply to see if I could get it going again but alas, no dice. I had upgraded the CPU a little while back (from a Pentium G630t to a Core i5 3475S) so I tried popping the old CPU back in but again, no power at all. My motherboard was an ASROCK H77 Pro4/MVP and I had 8-9 drives of various capacities (4tb parity, 2x4tb, 3x2tb, and 2x1tb) with a 500gb cache drive. I used it primarily for Plex and sabnzb and it served my purposes just fine.
At this stage I'm inclined to start from scratch maybe re-using at least the 4tb drives though after the lightning strike I don't know how trustworthy they'd be (if they still work at all).
I hadn't planned on starting over and don't have much of a budget, but at this stage I don't think I can afford to get all of the modern bells and whistles.
My gaming rig, which is long overdue for an upgrade itself is an i74490k but it too was exposed to the lightning (though it seems to be operating normally at the moment).
I'd love some recommendations for moving forward. Any and all advice would be appreciated.
