  1. Hey binhex, thanks for all your hard work. I keep getting this issue appearing in my logs:

     

    2016-02-03 23:06:46,406 DEBG 'plexmediaserver' stderr output:

    Error loading bundle code.

     

    When viewing the log.

     

    I've installed the absolute scanner and HamaTV and i think these aren't working very well, i need the absolute scanner for anime... I'd like to see where it errors out but the log viewer just doesn't load after 1-2 seconds.

  2. Like many others, i am running my HTPC in my unRAID server. 7.6m HDMI cable is doing 4k with my GTX 960 just fine. I would like a motherboard that can allow 2 GPU and 2 PCI-e USB controller cards so i can have two distinct VMs working like this. I am yet to find one that also has 8 SATA + m2...

  3. Hey guys, i have my old NAS which i briefly turned into a gaming PC up for sale. It features many components i bought last year for it, so its relatively high end in some respects. I think its a great value deal for whats on offer. I took away all the drives btw, just left the SSD!

     

    £450 for pickup, message me to discuss!

     

    Pickup in London would be ideal...

     

    Here is a spec list:

     

    Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Black Pearl

    Cooler: Scythe Kotetsu SCKTT-1000

    SSD: Samsung 850 PRO 256GB

    GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming 2G

    PSU: Seasonic X-Series X-460 460W Fanless

    Rear Fan: Antec Truequiet 140mm

    CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K

    Motherboard: Asus P8H67-I Mini ITX

    RAM: 2x4GB (8GB) Corsair DDR3 1333Mhz

     

    I have a USB TV Tuner available and a PCI-E one too if you're interested in those kind of things...

     

    PM me if interested :)

     

    I couldn't put the photos here but have a look here:

  4. It's odd. Admittedly i have one drive with failing SMART, which i need to replace... but these Seagate Desktop drives were a bust. Warranty is too short...

     

    I also have a dubious PSU... I need to give my server an update.

     

    Attached are some things, but still not sure if they will help.

  5. Great Socket 1151 board:

    IPMI is a good option, so are the 8xSATA (ideal IMHO).

     

    Questions:

    • Can we use that M2 slot for cache? Looks like we can! 8x SATA slots for HDDs.
    • Is there a PCI-E 3.0 4x GFX card that can be passed through? Looks like a 1x GPU will work here.
    • Can we pass through the 16x and 4x slots at the same time? Looks like this is also a yes.
    • Can the PCI slot be used for a DVB card? Looks like it also!
    • From the photos you could also get away with a long GPU as well

     

    In summary, a great board for mATX system builders that ticks a lot of boxes for making a small and compact server with 8 drives.

     

    Now, what case to put this in...

  6. For me the SSD helps when running VMs, extracting large files, generally just speeds up IO so much it doesn't make sense not to have one.

     

    I use the client and was not aware that 6.0 had a web interface, which would be awesome. I am trying to move to barebones unRAID 6.0 myself so i don't see the point of using ESXi at all... considering how much easier it is to do device passthrough in unRAID.
