Hi All, I am currently running Unraid on a HPN54L with 16G of memory using mostly for Home Assistant, file serving and a Channels TV server. I want to do more and I'm looking at a windows VM and an emulation VM but the N54L lacks the ability to pass through a graphics card as it doesn't have IOMMU so it's time to change. I am really out of touch on server specs and wonder if any of you guys can recommend a server to look at, I am thinking a tower and need space for 4 X 3.5inch HDDs, IOMMU and PCI slots obviously and enough grunt for what I do now, a couple of VM's and maybe a plex server too. I can't see the point shelling out for something new for a home server that's just used for fun tbh and was thinking second hand up to around £350 for the server only and maybe a graphics card recommendation to add to it. I am seeing quite a few fujitsu primergy in various configurations about and would be interested to hear opinoions on those. I am in the UK btw. Cheers Roy

I like how it just works, with all other server systems I've used I would have to reboot when things stopped but with unraid I just set it up and forget about it. Something to add, the one thing I always seem to struggle with VMs I don't know if that can be improved.
