Blast from the past!


Recommended Posts

Due to a few issues with my unRAID box, (the PSU flamed out toasting most of the guts), I have to announce that I've revived one of my first unRAID boxes, upgraded it a little, and it is now my main box again.

 

So, the general layout is:

 

Lian-Li PC-Q25A,

Asus H87I-Plus (this little board has been in constant use for close to 4 years in various machines around the house, started out in the unRAID box in late 2012),

Pentium G3430,

16GB DDR3L-1600 (this is new to the machine),

Superflower 350W 80+Gold PSU (tight squeeze, also new to the machine to replace a loudly buzzing 300W Ablecom PSU),

480GB Corsair Neutron XT, 2x8TB WD EZZX, 2x5TB WD EFRX, 1x 8TB Sagate NAS (parity) - all transferred from the newer box.

 

Thankfully I had no data loss, and all the drives seem fine.  I do have a Xeon E3-1275v3 which I will probably swap in to upgrade the slightly struggling G3430 - it's fine for running unRAID and the Dockers, but isn't so happy running my Windows 10 VM as well.
