cwtaylor Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Hi All, Looking to build the following to replace my ageing HP Microserver. Debating on what CPU to use whether it be a Xeon or Desktop type. Wanting to chuck ESXi and unRAID on there hosting Plex, SabNZBd and NZBDrone. Currently Plex can only handle on stream so looking at upping this to 3-4. Case: Fractal Design Define XL R2 Motherboard: Asus M5A97 AMD 970 CPU: AMD Piledriver FX-8 8350 RAM:Corsair Vengeance Pro Gold 16GB PSU: Corsair RM 650 Datastore: Corsair Neutron GTX 240GB Storage Drives: 4 x Western Digital Caviar Red 4TB Any feedback would be great.

garycase Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Sounds like you want to maximize performance -- so I'd use an Intel motherboard and CPU. Probably go with a Haswell-based Xeon. Quote Link to comment
