Here's a Q9650 (4,200 passmarks) for $75 shipping included. http://www.ebay.com/itm/INTEL-Q9650-Core-2-Quad-3-0GHz-LGA-775-CPU-SLB8W-12MB-Cache-1333-FSB-w-WARRANTY-/401264290504?hash=item5d6d372ac8:g:nWMAAOSw9GhYbsDk And here's the 4GB ram for under $20 (shipping incl.) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-4GB-2x2GB-DDR3-1333-PC3-10600-1Rx8-Desktop-RAM-497157-B88-Tested-/401280049561?hash=item5d6e27a199:g:9kYAAOSwx6pYrLqY

You have a few options available to you. RAM: 1. Upgrade to 4GB. Do you currently have 1x2GB or 2x1GB of RAM? Getting a used 2GB stick is quite inexpensive. Heck, I've got one lying here 2. Install a swapfile plugin to use the cache disk as a swap file location. Might let you get away with 2GB.... i've not tried this myself. CPU: 1. Upgrade to a higher end LGA775 CPU. 2. Upgrade to a new setup. I'd bet you can get a Q9650 and 2GB more ram for under $100.

None of the dockers you want to use will greatly benefit from more ram. Plex is the most demanding, and it wants CPU and more CPU. Your choice, but you can get a 4,200 passmark Core2Quad Q9650 for under $75. tDallen is using one even, and his server uses seem to match yours closely.

Or you could just upgrade the CPU with a high-end lga775 unit from ebay and get what you need. http://www.cpubenchmark.net/socketType.html#id5

A modern i3 or pentium would well for this.

Honestly, It's a little disappointing in the pricing, at least up here in Canada. Their cheapest offering is $432CAD, just not going to cut it when an i5 can be had for under $300. YES, I know the 1700 will trounce an i5, but most of that performance is gravy at this pricing level. I'm also not sold on how effective these will be for VM's. Sure, they have 8 cores / 16 threads, but a quad core intel (4 core / 8 thread) is just a little bit behind in terms of performance... this translates into the intel having a PER CORE advantage since the Ryzen needs double to barely beat it... They need to release some more mainstream parts, and fast if they are after market share.

...and only Intel iGPU even.

None taken, i'd do the same

+1 for sure! When unRAID was v 4.7 I had the server and a separate 'apps' server. Now I have it all combined into one system (plus Plex Media Server & Plex Media Player). I've been able to reduce 3 systems into 1 without much cost or effort.

Not interested in any of these drives, but bravo on the detailed post!

<-- BETA tester right here. I have several remote clients and an i5-4460.

UHHH RELEASE ETA?

I'm sure if you give him a special licence to support this petabyte project he'd bite lol

If you dont need to retain menus you could just remux the ISO's.

Maybe Linus could help you out, his forum uses the same software and god knows you've done him a solid or 20.

I dont.. ? did you check off "remember me?"

I believe this means that the disk found 5 sectors were bad and is not using them anymore... standard operation and safe.

What I did was create my custom activity stream, navigate to it and then copy the URL and add it as a favourite in the favourites bar. Mine ends up as "https://forums.lime-technology.com/discover/20/"

MCE errors are a possible sign of a BIOS update that is needed. Check for that too.

At first it was nice and fast.. now that old URL is auto-forwarded its a little slower... likely several background tasks still happening.

Ya I just happened to check the old forum and saw the announcement at the top linking to here.

Remember, the U-NAS cases use a 1U power supply not atx/sfx.

Lian-Li Q25 is what you're after. I use it.
