Yes I did. Got for 210$

Thanks soo much for info. I think I will be rolling this way.

I recently purchased a dell R710 PowerEdge. Dell PowerEdge R710 LFF 2U Server 2x Intel Xeon X5670 2.93GHz Six Core Processors 24GB RAM (6x4GB) PERC 6/i RAID Controller 6x 3.5" Hard Drive Bays No Hard Drives iDRAC Enterprise DVD-ROM Optical Drive 2x Power Supplies. got good deal on it so gonna start from here and see how I like working with server. Any ideas, recommendation’s? Plan on probably upgrading ram and taking raid controller out. Want to do the media route with unraid till I can buy all the drives I want. How easy is it to use unraid and navigate through for a newbie? Is there a auto dvd rip plugin or app I can run?

Thanks. Pc part picker says it is ECC registered. I'll have to look into that.

Hey everyone. I am wanting to build a home server to dock all tablets, phones, and computers too. I want to stream plex as well. I also have over 400 dvd's I would like to rip on it. Would like to do more as I learn and don't want to be limited by the build. would also like there to be some kind of back up so if there happens to be a drive fail I could recover. Please give input as I would like to start my build and learn more about the process. below is a pc part picker link I'm thinking about doing. Might only do 2 8tb drives to start and add more as I go. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/X6WNhy
