  1. I'm a new unraid user who just built his first server. I want to preclear but I cant seem to get the pkg manager in unmenu to install anything. Wiki instructions say: Step 5 Click Download screen-4.03-i486-1.tgz. The status will change to "Package downloaded, but not yet installed". Step 6 Click Install screen-4.03-i486-1.tgz. You will see a report of the commands run and the status will change to "screen-4.0.3-i486-1.tgz is now installed". But there isn't an option to click "Download screen.." The button says "Select screen.." and when I click on it nothing happens. Relative noob, but looking for some guidance. Thanks!
  2. Can you talk to me more about why I would want to do this? I think I'm getting confused about what passthrough is.
  3. Hi guys, I've done quite a bit of research trying to get things all set up. I'm hoping to run Sonnar/Sickbeard/Couchpotato/Torrenting stuff while consuming low power/costing not too much. I may have 1-2 transcoding streams but that is it, as my HTPC is more than equipped to handle full uncompressed blu rays. Case: Lian Li PC-Q25B $110 Mobo: ASRock H97M-ITX/ac $95 or Gigabyte LGA 1150 H97 $110 Processor: Intel Core i3-4360 $150 RAM:G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) $50 PSU:SilverStone Technology 450W SFX $70 Drives: WD Red 4TB $150 x2 300 Total $775 I have a spare SSD for cache, and I will use one WDRed for parity for a total storage of 4GB at first.This build will also allow for some growth with room for more drives. My questions: Can I do better for the price? Is there some upgrade I'm not seeing within spitting distance of my price? Within 150$ more at most I would be super grateful for any help or suggestions guys
  4. Hi, What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using. I have a Nvidia Shield TV that I will be streaming to in Kodi. Preferably full-size Blu-ray Rips. The Nvidia can handle it via direct play on Kodi. I would also like to run sickbeard/sabnzb and seed torrents. What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes? 500 bucks (without storage). If you could show me how much better/more expandable/etc it could be, I could go a bit above. What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? Going to be running it headless. So just the case, mobo, power supply, RAM etc. Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location? *Southern California. I have access to a microcenter. If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated. Nothing really to reuse. UNRAID. Looking for a minimum of 6-7 SATA ports on the mobo and case, but ideally would be even higher ++ so that this could last for 5-10 years.
