eroz Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 It's been a while since I have updated my server (or visited the forums for that matter) besides swapping out hard drives. My current server consists of: Case - Antec Nine Hundred with 4 Norco SS-500 hot swap drive cages Motherboard - ASRock Z170 Extreme7+ Version CPU - i7-6700K with Corsair H60 cooler Ram - 16 GiB DDR4 Old SAS card (forgot the name but has Marvell) I'm looking at the following parts: CPU - i7-12700K - Core i7 12th Gen Alder Lake Motherboard - MSI PRO Z690-P Ram - CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Cooler - Thermaltake TH120 SAS card - looking into getting LSI SAS 9207-8i (1 right now but thinking about getting 2) Power Supply - CORSAIR RM850 I'm planning on re-using the case and the hot swap drive cages and hard drives (replacing those as I need). My main use is as a plex server and various *darr, homebridge, pihole dockers. I've dabbled with VM's so I still would like to have the option to do so. Honestly I don't have a budget but would like to keep total costs under $2k. Does it look ok or are there some changes I should make? Quote Link to comment
