November 7, 2025Nov 7 The power flicked and my unraid server will not start back up. No beeps from the system at all. Fans spin, but no indication of life. This was my 10 year old desktop that I moved all the drives and unraid USB over to about 6 months ago. So now I find myself needing to do a build without time to do my own research. I have computer-building skills, but they are 10 years out of date.I wasn't really happy with how I had to mount my 5 spinning drives (4 TB WD REDs mostly) and one SSD, so I'm thinking of a new case. I would like the option for a few more drives if needed in the future.I assume my Corsair CX500M power supply is still good, but I do not know if 500W is enough.I have 4 x 8GB DDR3 memory sticks I would like to reuse if I could, but I'm willing to buy new if I should https://amzn.to/43gcyKbI guess I'm looking for a recommendation for a case, MB & CPU. I run Plex and a few other Dockers to but generally only have one video stream going at a time.
