  1. I got really excited to learn they launched a new nas case. Looked at a review, got more excited and frustrated because I thought I had made up my mind with Phanteks Ethoo 719. Then I went on amazon to look at the price. Easy decision, not this one lol. If it drops in price before I pull the trigger on a new build I'm definitely going to consider this. Let me know how it works out for you and what the thermals are like.
  2. Yea the case is overkill for an ITX setup but it's for future proofing the additional drives, I have 4 now, and the ability to go EATX in the future if I decide to take the server route. This also has the ability to house 2 systems, which I'm seriously considering setting this on my desk and consolidating my gaming rig and my home server. I was suspect of the blockage too, but I don't need the fan on the nvme. This board has an added HS/FAN to sit above the nvme. Their others are bare IIRC. I also keep going over costs and everything that I've put together is all around the same price. The biggest difference between all of them is how recent the tech is. If I go the server route, I won't have DDR5 and USB 4. If I go the consumer route, I don't have the core count or native SATA connections. The other bigger difference is power. I wish one way was more expensive than the other.
  3. Ive gone back and forth in my head whether to put together a dual xeon server or try to take the consumer approach with something that runs on less power. My latest obession is using the newer mitx miniforms motherboards with a m.2 to sata expansion card. Any opinions on going this route?

  4. #Asustor #N5105 #Jasper Fixed it.........finally. For anyone else struggling, my cure, was to update the i915.conf file on the unRAID stick by removing the force_probe=4c8a option and replacing it with enable_guc=2. I searched a little bit(not much) on what force_probe=4c8a does and couldn't find anything. Updating the conf and executing modprobe in the OS did not reload the module and work for me. I had to update the i915.conf on the USB to have the settings on boot otherwise unRAID just overwrites the file. YMMV but use the graphic to determine which GuC and HuC level you need...
  5. I will literally paypal anyone 20 to get hw transcoding on my N5105 Jasper Lake box using the LinuxServer container to work. I've lost count of how many times I've tried between running docker on bare metal, my asustor through ADM, and now my asustor running unRAID. Short details: /dev/dri is being passed and shows in the container wide open /dev/dri permissions seem correct querying user abc and validating group membership against /dev/dri Log files show attempts to use hw but no device is available Running the latest unRAID What the hell else is there..... However, I can spin up a VM, pass the gpu through, and have hw transcoding done in less then 5. I am trying sooooooo hard to abandon this route as its not efficient at all on my current resources. If anyone has the time to do screen sharing, could be a quick easy 20 bucks and saving me from compulsively buying 1300 in equipment, setting my asustor on my porch, and punting it as far as I can. Then going inside to grab a bat to finish it off in grand 'Office Space' style while gangsters paradise plays on the portable speaker in the background..... Sanity has left me... BTW, brand new user, currently in trial mode to see if I really want to convert over. Hi.
