  1. So it looks like my system is a bit on the lean side to run this type of configuration. I'll leave it a Win 8 box for now till I can get another PC down there to just run windows then switch it over to a dedicated unraid box.
  2. I'm running an i3 4170 on an Asus Z87i deluxe motherboard with 8gb of ram. Also using the built in graphics card for video.
  3. Not sure what forum this goes on so feel free to move if needed. Looking at unraid for a small system of 6 drives that will be located in my garage, is it possible to have a VM with windows 10 and access it from the same PC that is running unraid? When working on the car in the garage I'll stream Pandora or look up some PDFs online for what I'm working on, that's about it. Right now it's a windows 8 machine running drivepool.
  4. Looking at doing some upgrades and found a good deal on what looks to be the retail boxed version of the 4tb red. Model number is WDBMMA0040HNC-NRSN vs the WD40EFRX on Amazon.
  5. Ranger, I think that is what I'm going to do. My total photo and music library is just shy of 500gb. I still take pics but not nearly as much as I use to, kids are getting older and don't play as much sports. My other idea, and the wife said I'm crazy but I though I would run it through here. Back in July of 03 I build an i7-4770 system with an Asus Z87-Deluxe mother board and 16gb of ram and a 480gb ssd, rock solid for the last 3 years. I also have an i7 Macbook Air 11" with 8gb of ram and a 256gb eSSD drive. My thoughts were to load the Asus board, CPU, and ram into a LIAN LI PC-Q25B case and add my drives from busted N40L. Then I can use my i7 Air as my primary computer with docking station to drive my 2 dell 24" displays. Most of the stuff I do now a days is email, surfing, some light photoshop work, lightroom activities, and I think the i7 in the Air can handle that all just fine. Throw the 480gb SSD in a case and use it with the Mac for extra storage. Now it does sound crazy.
  6. Thanks Bob, checked the jumper it's still there in the correct position. Korith, just got this back up and running, installed 2 new Hitachi 2tb drives then the power supply went out, orgered a new one and it worked for 4 days then I noticed I couldn't log into it, rebooted and it never came back. I thinking at this point of just picking up a Synology or Qnap device and adding in the 2 new drives to it.
  7. Build one or buy one ready to go? Also might consider just getting a NAS like a qnap or drobo?
  8. Well my HP N40L took a crap on me, replaced the power supply last week and this week looks like the MB is dead. Just getting the red light, pulled everything of the board and swapped ram and still dead. Is it work it buy a new board? Found a board on ebay from a N54L for $145 with a 90 day warranty or should I just start fresh. I don't need a high powered unit, just used as a file server for now.
