bitphire Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Hello! I just bought UnRaid Pro as I have been wanting to convert/build a server for a long time and I have been putting it off for finacial reasons. I am hoping to be able to start building something in near future if needed but for now I was wondering if my current PC would be up for the task. It's a few years old now. I currently run Windows 10 and Emby. I do play games every now and then. Server would hopefully be able to run a webserver, mysql server, emby for media, radarr, sonarr, nzbget, linux vm (1-3 distros), and a windows distro. Might consider a mac vm if I could get it work. The web,database, and emby I would want on at all times. The VM's I would probably just turn on as needed to code or game. I like to write small apps as a hobby and play with linux for fun. Current Setup: CPU: i7-7700k Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z270N-WIFI RAM: 16GB DDR4 2400MHz Power Supply: FSP Dagger 600W 80 Plus Gold Graphics Card: MSI GTX 1080 If the rest is decent enough, I would be willing to just buy more ram. I am new to any of this and not 100% what I am looking for. I know how to match sockets and piece together PC's but as for the details of what makes something better than the other can elude me. As for hard drives, I have nothing special atm. Just a NVMe Samsung 970 EVO, small SSD (old), and random sized HDDs. My media at the moment is stored on 2 external drives (8TB & 12TB) that are made to appear as one drive in Windows. TIA for any input! Edited December 23, 2022 by bitphire Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Should be fine for all those dockers and more. And should be OK for a few VMs if you don't intend to run them all at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment
