February 15, 201313 yr Looks great and simple! I've been on the lookout for a build like this especially for the Plex side of things. Only question is are you doing any 1080p streaming via Plex? If so how does it run?
March 21, 201313 yr Author Hi! I can do about 12 of the 1080P transcodings at the same time, have not tested with more than that, so i dont know the limit. /Got
March 22, 201313 yr Hi! I can do about 12 of the 1080P transcodings at the same time, have not tested with more than that, so i dont know the limit. /Got Wow, where are you doing 12 streams of any type of video at once to?
August 12, 201312 yr Author This build is really, really good, and now with some new fans it is cold and quiet!
August 12, 201312 yr Since 2012-10-16 18:27 until 201-08-12 21:38 the server has used 350,88Kw @ the price of 399,40 SEK ....I take it, that is for 10 months, ending at 2013-08-12 and 350KWh....which gives an average of 48.6W consumption...you've been running a lot of these transcoding jobs But at that pricetag, I'd probably do the same...400SEK are approx 46EUR, so that'll make out less than 0.13EUR per KWh...man, that *is* cheap...average here is around double of that.
August 12, 201312 yr Author Pays 1.14SEK/Kwh, and that is included all the cost for the Subscription fees and so to...
August 12, 201312 yr I have the same case, it's a lovely case! I keep debating whether or not I should upgrade to a 24 bay server case but I don't think I'll ever use all of the bays. Although after seeing this I might keep the case and upgrade the CPU/Mobo/Ram. The only downside is you can only fit seven drives in it; 6x 3.5" and 1x 2.5". But with hard drive sizes increasing I can't really see a problem. Sent from my Nexus 4
August 13, 201312 yr Author Yeah it is a nice case, only problem is the amount of disc u can get in it, and for now i have a 3.5" cache, but i need a 2.8" but do not know what kind of disc that can run 24/7 that is 2.8"...
August 13, 201312 yr ...how much space do you need for a cache drive....get a SSD as only write-cycles do matter...you can get them even at 1.8"...toss it in with a sticky tape For 2.5", there are some models suitable for 24x7...but only up to 1TB, AFAI. These are (starting from 500GB): http://geizhals.at/de/?cat=hde7s&xf=1654_geeignet+f%FCr+Dauerbetrieb%7E958_500%7E3772_2.5#xf_top
August 13, 201312 yr Author 1TB is what i need.. only runs the mover 1 time every day, mbay that i can get a 500gb and run it 2-4 times aday...
August 26, 201312 yr Author Updated the Server with one WD Red 3TB, Upgraded to 5 RC16c, Licens to Pro and moved the cachedrive to data, and added a 1TB WD RE for cache, going to make a move for a bigger chassi(Fractal Design Define R4 White) now when getting more Discs, also upgraded to 5 rc16c and put openVPN and OwnCloud up. /Gotlänning
March 15, 201412 yr Author Have updated the information about the server, and what my electric bill lands on, for the ppl who is interested. /Marcus
July 13, 201510 yr Author Every detail is in the first post, have no pitures of the second build, sorry.
December 12, 201510 yr Author Updatet even one more time, new MB, CPU, RAM, Two new Drives, SSD, and added Sound Card and Graphic Card, put up at Windows 10 PRO with 16GB of ram.
December 30, 201510 yr Nice build! I'm looking to build a similar system. Any idea on the power consumption of the latest build yet? This has become more important for me since taxes on electricity will be raised from 6% to 21% here. (Crazy, right?! ) Which graphics card is assigned to unraid? Can you use both outputs? Happy with overal performance? Any idea if the RAMs clockspeed has much of an effect on performance? RAM running at 3000MHz is much more expensive.
