January 6, 201610 yr My current system has ALMOST enough power to handle everything I use unRaid for (no 6-player game streaming for me ), but I find that enabling crashplan tends to result in a crash after a couple of weeks. I'd like to move from the C2SEE/E5200 to something a bit more modern: - 2-4 cores - Supports >4GB of RAM - ECC or nonECC, I can get new RAM if needed - Low power usage - Runs cool - Not Atom/Celeron slow - At least 4 SATA slots on MB (although MOAR is better!) Any current recommendations?
January 7, 201610 yr Author What is the budget though ? Pretty openended; I'll glady drop an extra $100 on the mobo or CPU if it makes it so I don't have to worry about anything for years, but if it's $100 more just for performance that wouldn't be used, I'd rather put it towards more HD's
January 7, 201610 yr I would aim then for a i3 or i5 series with a suitable motherboard and 8gb of ram. That would set you back about $200 though and future proof your for years to come.
