March 21, 201610 yr Hello unRAIDcommunity. I have discovered unRAID a few weeks ago while looking for an alternative to FreeNAS and was excited immediately. I am generally a rookie when it comes to serverstuff so critisism and suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Now for my build: Intended usage: NAS: At the moment I've got around 9TB of Data LinuxVM: Light Emulation (Retro) Docker images: Plex, pyLoad, ownCloud, CrashPlan, Mumble, MineOS Hosting of various gameservers: ARK, CS etc. (one at a time) Possibly use as a "gaming"NAS (more at the bottom) CPU Intel Xeon E3-1245 v5 (~300€) CPU Cooler Noctua NH-L12 (~50€) Mainboard Supermicro X11SSM-F (~240€) RAM 2 x Crucial DIMM 16GB, DDR4-2133, CL15, reg ECC (~180€ for both) PSU Corsair RMx 750W 80+ Gold Certified (120€) HDD 6 x Western Digital Red 3TB (Already owned) USB SanDisk Cruzer Fit 32GB (12€) VM/Docker Drive Samsung 830 EVO 250GB SSD (Already owned) Parity Western Digital Red 4TB (~170€) Case Fractal Design Define R5 (Already owned) Price: 1072 My goal would be to create a server that would last me a good while (maybe 5 years) in terms of streaming capabilities. Would 4k be possible with this build if it should get more mainstream in the next years? The biggest question I've got would be if it is possible to use a high end GPU in a servergrade mainboard like this for GPU passthrough. Thanks in advance for your help!
March 21, 201610 yr I can't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to use a high end GPU on this board, however I do have a concern about the heatsink for the chipset that appears to overlap the first PCIe slot where you would insert a GPU, it may interfere physically with a large and long GPU, but it depends on the GPU, just something you may want to think about. Perhaps someone with the same board can comment, it may be nothing at all to worry about.
March 21, 201610 yr Why not go dual Xeon 2670 instead? They cost like 70 bucks each and are 8 cores. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=46077.0 If you are only going to host a small minecraft server, I would recommend going with mcmyadmin2 instead of MineOS. I did have some trouble with MineOS with Tekkit, but it worked fine with vanilla.
March 22, 201610 yr Author @ashman70 Thanks for pointing that out, would have totally missed that. But I think after reading about the cheap 8cores I will go for that now @Bjonness406 Thank you very much for this information! I live in germany so 70 bucks don't quiet cut it but I should be able to get 2 of them for around 200€ which is a good deal nonetheless. So back to the drawing board I guess! Regarding Minecraft: I am running a custom modpack which is comparable to tekkit in size for around 4-6 people so I will go with mcmyadmin2 instead.
