What's weird is that it'll take only one command, from either Nest OR MyQ. Any subsequent command goes to deaf ears. I'll have to try the liftmaster2 module rather than the MyQ. I do recall homebridge saying the MyQ module was deprecated but it installed anyway.

Check in to the Corsair SF450 as well. Great little tiny power supply!

I'm using Adair's homebridge docker and it seems to only work only once until I restart it. I've got mine loaded with Nest and Chamberlain MyQ. If I issue a command to Siri to close the garage door, it will close. But if I try another command, like change the temperature to 75 degrees, Siri doesn't get a response and therefore doesn't carry out the command. It will work after restarting the homebridge docker, but only one command works and then I have to restart it again. Shame as this could be very nifty! Any ideas?

If you'll have a GPU anytime soon, you could skip getting the Xeon with onboard graphics. I'm currently upgrading my Q25B setup from an i5-4430 / Asus H87i-Plus / 2x8GB DDR3. I have the Asrock C236 WSI / Xeon E3-1230 v5 / 2x16GB DDR4 (non-ECC) on order!

Good, BIOS is all I need. I never use the console; well, maybe back in unRAID 4.x. Thank you for the clarification! That is exactly what I was hoping. True ... and many of us who build mini-ITX servers are very focused on keeping our power consumption as low as possible. For example, my Q25B system idles under 20w My Q25B system doubles as a gaming rig. It's quite the potent machine! 16TB (usable) of spinning rust and a GTX 1070 shoved inside. Just trying to find the optimal CPU upgrade path from my current i5-4430/Asus H87I/16GB RAM to a C236 WSI/32GB RAM

Agree ... that's a VERY nice board for a mini-ITX system. With 8 SATA ports, you're very unlikely to require an add-in controller card, and it's a server-grade board so you get ECC and Xeon support as well. The only thing "missing" that'd be nice-to-have is IPMI, but that's not really a big deal -- but DO be sure you buy a Xeon with integrated graphics if using this board. Why do you recommend the CPU with graphics with the C236 board? Is integrated required if an nvidia card is installed (and passed through to a VM)?

Q25 builds rock!

I would love to test this out in a dockerized environment. Unless there is something else out there that is similar and already exists in a docker!

Doesn't look like it's possible to convert DVI to VGA with that monitor. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4485085?tstart=0

What monitor is it exactly? Maybe the VGA cable or adapter is bad. Can you test another device using the VGA cable/adapter? Like a laptop or something.

Oh yes, i440fx a definite must! I missed that minor spec in your original post!

Yes, try the MSI interrupts fix for your PCI devices. It has worked for me in the past.

Things have changed since I built my Q25, and with all of the potential of V6 I can't help but think this M25 is the new best case for a small tidy Unraid build. I could be wrong but it certainly is in the ballpark. At the very least I don't want to go forward with just 1 PCI slot, and this M25 case is just 1 1/2" taller and 3" deeper than the Q25. I love my Q25 build but I want more expansion than the Q25 case allows for when I buy new parts. I feel like a traitor but I think it is best to move to a mATX board. I've been in the same boat recently. The want for 32gb RAM and an extra PCIe slot for a quad gigabit NIC is enticing!

Racing simulators love CPU. I wouldn't attach any less than 4vCPU Very nice AIO machine!

I'd be far more inclined to use server-grade hardware ... for a fault-tolerant server I want fault-tolerant memory! If I was building a new mini-ITX system today, I'd use this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813599009 ... with a Xeon and a pair of 16GB ECC memory modules. That would be VERY future-proof, and would give you plenty of memory to "fiddle" with VM's. [A pair of 8GB modules would give you enough to "fiddle" if you don't want to spring for 32GB] +1. I'd pair it with a hyper threaded E3-1230 v5. Really need that 32gb RAM and dual ethernet! I just don't have $600 to chuck about for the mobo/cpu/ram.

Also, I've found that steam in-home streaming is limited to 60fps, so SLI would definitely be overkill for that.

I received response from an Atlona vendor about their AT-UHD-EX-70-2PS in response to my question: "Does this support 2560x1440 resolution? I know it goes UP to 4K, but will it display a resolution between 1080p and 4k?" Downside is the damn thing costs $309. That's almost as much as my video card itself! After measurements, all I'm needing is between 15-20ft. I don't think any HDMI, DVI, or DisplayPort cable alone supports that distance to maintain a 1440p resolution.

This sounds like a freakin' awesome endeavor!! I'd love to do similar, except with my single GTX 1070 unRAID setup that resides in a closet. Any ideas on resolution limitations? Everything I see is 1080p maximum. I prefer to game over 1440p.

Currently 16GB but wish I could upgrade to 32GB on a Haswell Mini-ITX. Guessing I will need to look in to Skylake mobo+cpu upgrade in the future to get 32GB of RAM on an ITX board. Would also like dual ethernet.

Here you go! So much more room for activities!

Looks like a very nice upgrade! I'd go for the GTX 1070 over the 970, if you can wait a little for stock to appear in stores.

GTX 1070 is installed! Corsair SF450 power supply is on the way.

I currently have the cheap Corsair CX430. Currently only using 47w at idle. Around 65w when booting my Win10 VM. And finally 135w when gaming using the 750Ti. I hope it will work fine. Hopefully the 1070 gets adequate cooling. Will have to watch that closely in the Q25B. Edit: went ahead and ordered a Corsair SF450 80plus Gold. Reviews are exceptional (topping silverstone!) and I finally will have a SFX power supply so you guys can't give me any more grief!
