September 12, 2025Sep 12 I Currently have a ASUS ZIOPC-D& Motherboard LGA2011-3 with dual INTEL XEON E5-2698V3. I'm looking to upgrade to something faster and maybe a little more efficient. I have a LSI Logic 05-25699-00 9305-24i that will be going in the system along with a 3070 RTX. I Currently am running 20 rust drives and 2 ssds in my setup. It's a plex server for inside my house, storage, also going to try and do a bare metal VM for my madvr setup that | Currently have running on a stand alonesystem. Also run a few games severs off of it, think imaround 180tb. I was looking at the 265k combo from MicroCenter but no 8x slot for the LSI. Budget is around 800 bucks. Might can stretch it a bit more if needed. Kind of want this to be the last upgrade for a while. All going in a rack mounted 24 hot swap case. What are you all thoughts ? Also what NiC to use? On board or something else? I have a ubiquiti setup with dream machine SE and 16 port pro max 2.5 switch. Seen mixed things about 2.5g being worth a crap lol. I'm fine going to another server motherboard and cpu like an Epyc or something. Thanks
