June 30, 20179 yr I have never used unraid in the past. But I am trying to figure out if it would help in my case I am looking at building a new PC. I currently have a bunch of electronics test equipment all over my desk and office because of this I am low on room. I also work from home and they require a dedicated PC which they monitor VMs are ok. So I was thinking if instead of having my server my gaming PC and my work pc fill my office giving me no room to work. I was thinking of using unraid. Having one VM for work one for playing/streaming and one for a random game server. Would this be possible? Would this help in my situation. Does it cost per year/month? or is it a one time charge. I already know I am going x299 which may or may not yet be optimized for unraid. Edited June 30, 20179 yr by ToastyMallow
June 30, 20179 yr I wouldn't opt into the new Intel platform because of multiple reasons, first of which are extreme issues with motherboards: 8-pin power for the CPU is not enough for 10-core Skylake-X, pulls over 300w VRMs on the "entry-level" $300+ boards overheat and cause CPU to clock down to 1.2Ghz Would recommend water-cooling for the VRMs Doesn't recommend any X299 boards at the moment and to wait a few months Source of additional info: https://forum.beyond3d.com/posts/1989451/ and also https://forum.beyond3d.com/posts/1989578/

I was debating using that or threadripper.
