    one fix at a time.

    By RDP being called "slow" it was meant that it is not the proper solution for playing a modern 3D game over, nor watching a HD movie. That's all.

    How about kvm over IP solutions?

    You'll need at least one empty drive as you need to copy the data off the existing drives first, then you can transfer those drives to the array, and continue copying over your data. I HIGHLY suggest you avoid re-using the existing drives though as their reliability might be suspect since they have been well used already. If your existing tower works with drives over 2TB i'd buy two new 4TB drives and use that.

    As you can see, the costs are heavily dependent on the hard drive, and that included only a single 3TB drive. I would do as suggested and determine the feasibility of using your existing system as the basis and adding 2-3 hard drives to it, since they are the largest cost of any system. As suggested I'd test your existing system with an unRAID USB stick to see if it boots (remember to unplug all your hard drives before trying so you don't hose them). You could then transplant the hardware into a better case if you wanted to.

    Here's what I've quickly pieced together on newegg.ca Celeron G1840 - 62.03 4GB HyperX DDR3 - 29.99 Fractal Design R4 Case - 139.99 Corsair CX430M - 69.99 ASUS H81M-C/CSM/C/SI-R (refurb) - 54.99 WD 3TB Red - 139.99 Total $496.98 + s/h + tax.

    You don't need to go high end on a CPU. A celeron would do you just fine since you plan to run Kodi which does not do any transcoding.

    Yes, NA. Don't forget, his DAD built that one Of course, there are some exceptions
  9. mr-hexen
    nah, he's all about Naturally Aspired engines. This would be Brian O'Connors.

    Can NZBGet assign permissions to files it handles? If yes, set it to 777.

    It has nothing to do with the network or processing power, it has to do with the RDP protocol. It was not designed for use with video.
  12. mr-hexen
    Your plan sounds good until you mention gaming or video streaming. Don't think remote desktop protocols handle high quality video very well. For this you need to be "bare metal", meaning you need to connect the keyboard, mouse, monitor directly to unraid some how.

    I built my system for less than that not including hard drives. Check out my build thread. I'm in Ontario, Canada, so prices are CDN$

    I switched from transmission to deluge for the vpn functionality. It works great.
  15. mr-hexen
    Indeed. Have you read the manual for the MB? It said something about two jumpers that provide better management for the PCIe slot. Might want to look into that and flop the jumpers around to try the other way.
  16. mr-hexen
    Well you've tried replacing the card already, that did not fix it. So your next steps in narrowing this down are replace the mb (potentially bad PCIe slot) or replace the 8087-SATA cables attached to the card. Do you have the latest BIOS for the mainboard as well?
  17. mr-hexen
    Are the failed drives all in the icydock cages?
  18. mr-hexen
    Did you remove that zip tie holding the SATA cables together like garycase suggested in your build thread?
  19. mr-hexen
    There was an update to this plugin shortly after rc3 came out. Do you have the most recent one?
  20. mr-hexen
    I dont get those invalid response nuisance reports in my log. I have AFP disabled.
  21. mr-hexen
    you have to unassign the drive, start the array, stop the array, re-assign the drive, start the array. This is needed to get unRAID to "forget" the drive that was in slot10. By re-assigning it, it makes unRAID think you've installed a new drive and it rebuilds the contents onto that drive. I would run your old drive over a few preclears (once disk10 is rebuilt) to see if its still good, then re-add it to the array. If this is true, make sure to mark that original slot as defective so you don't use it in the future.
  22. mr-hexen
    It should work fine. Its ATX and EPS compliant. Single rail is preferred for unRAID's use case.

    The HX750i you linked earlier has 8 x 4-Pin Peripheral Connector (these are the Molex connectors or EIDE power connectors as you're calling them).
  24. mr-hexen
    Does this script Running /etc/my_init.d/99_chown_plex_owned_files.sh. really need to run at every start. It seems to chown my entire plex config folder, taking several minutes.
  25. mr-hexen
    You will still need something to replace the htpc client duties. A simple gpu could help with that.
