Seconding Syncback, I have an old SyncbackSE version which also compresses and encrypts before sending them offsite. I'm sure there are more elegant ways of doing this, but its been working well for years so I haven't fiddled with it.

If there is one near enough to go in store there usually is an easily found $5 off $30 coupon available.

I did some tests a couple of years back when I started using unRAID. I also was limited to the number devices (3 wired clients) and wireless bandwidth. But, going from fuzzy memory, I could only just do (with a little buffering) 3 different 1080p movies all on the same disk served to 3 wired Plex clients.

Currently using all three for years; Kodi, Plex and Emby, for most of the before mentioned reasons. Wish it was one app, but can't really complain as the only monetary outlay was $1.99 (on sale) for the android Plex app and everything works fine. Should really thank unRAID for being such a stable platform.
Just one bone of contention with all these apps is that I wish they would come up with a more efficient way of storing the metadata. As my library grows having hundred of thousands of files to back up is getting a little ridiculous. Can't even tell you how many files my Plex metadata library has right now as explorer is still counting files...
Have to add that Filebot is a life saver for trouble free metadata acquisition.

This is more for a reminder to myself how I got things working as this is the second time I had to figure out how to do this.
I was already using v5 hamachi plug-in and used the saved config files located at:
/boot/config/hamachi-conf.tgz
Created a folder in cache
/mnt/cache/Apps/Hamachi
and copied the config files into that folder.
ran at the linux prompt
docker pull gfjardim/hamachi
and then
docker run -d --name="Hamachi" --net="host" --privileged="true" -e ACCOUNT="[email protected]" -v "/mnt/cache/Apps/Hamachi/":"/config":rw -v "/etc/localtime":"/etc/localtime":ro gfjardim/hamachi

Bugger... Mine was DOA. The Magical smoke came out as soon as I turned it on.

I've noticed these suckers upwards of 50C during my preclears. These were sitting on my desk in the open air and the AC pumping out at 75F.
anyone else noticing these suckers getting HOT?
During preclear it got around 43~45C in my open case spare machine with no fans. Now in the server in with air blowing over them, they are around 35C.

Currently using abeMeda trial version which allows up to 10 catalogs, which is more than number of shares I have on unRAID. Also, use Index Your Files, but this sometimes gets hung up when updating the index and seems to be very slow at updating.
Tried countless others and there seems to be countless others left to try, but sticking with abeMeda trial as it seems to be the most reliable and fastest at indexing.
I would be interested in what other people use as I would like to also index my individual drives too.

Thanks for the heads up. Really nice deal given that I received the full package with cables. Not like the server pull jobs without brackets that I'm used to.
Now just got to figure out a way to secure this to the case given that I'm using the molex and don't have a spare pcie port to plug it in.

I ended up just splitting the collection to different genres. With the smaller size, quick switching to different libraries is near instantaneous. Not perfect, but it works as I need Calibre to transfer and manage books to my mobile devices.

Try SyncbackFree. I'm using an older SE version of it and I think the free one does do backups to Zip files (individual or by folder).
-
Try your local recycle center. My local one has a box full of old matrox and ATI pci graphics cards from old office machines.

Not using it for unRAID, but ran a P5B deluxe, 8GB ram with a Q9550. Transcoded up to three easily.

USB extenders over ethernet to connect keyboard/mouse/remote?
Anyone with experience using these?
-
At that price and free shipping, looks pretty good.

XBMC and Airvideo for remote...
I like the plex interface but it is VERY inaccurate in getting movie titles right, and that bugs me ..
I've not had many issues on the matching by following their naming convention guides, however I wish the built in scanner would use nfo files when present.

There is a custom xbmc nfo agent for plex. See here :

Option 3 should be the easiest. With a Q9300 you should be easily handle 3 transcodes. My E6600 can do 2 transcodes to ios and android device and stream to a local htpc.

Nice comparison piece on lifehacker that might give you a good over view.
http://lifehacker.com/5991757/should-i-use-plex-or-xbmc-for-my-home-theater-pc
I personally use both, main htpc is XBMC and use Plex for remote clients.
One useful tool to help with meta data matching and filing that I use is filebot. As filebot uses the same meta data source as XBMC and Plex, if I use it to rename and file, 99% of the time I get the correct match on both XBMC and Plex.
I would suggest giving both a go as both are free for local clients.

Definitely interested.

Sent you a pm.

Just as an FYI for people who might need to get some of these screws. I had to get some last week as I bought off craigslist a Norco server and the guy had lost the screws.
They are available on ebay (search : server case screws), but you have to buy the ones that specify that it work with Norco servers or have extra thin undersides to the flat heads.
I had some screws for a dell server with plate steel trays which did not work with the thinner pressed steel trays of the Norco server.

It's down to $139.99. Snagged one for myself.

I have two of them and they work great.
Quick question. How well does the remote work? Such as range, size, interference between remotes and WAF factor.
Would be interested in AIO solution for parents and guest room.
Thanks.
XBOX One or PS4?

Throwing in another option as it looks like the Playstation streaming service Playstation Now is available on Windows machines. All you need is a Dual Shock 4 controller in addition to a compatible windows machine.
