New Guy Introduction

[InWayOverMyHead]

Hey everybody, just joined and wanted to introduce myself to all the fine folks here. 

 

Name pretty much says it all, I considered myself fairly computer literate (w/ Windows, anyway) but after a friend showed me the benefits that could be had from a home server setup, and some successful experimentation with a Raspberry Pi, I decided to make the jump to a full on SuperMicro server with unRAID, which is a whole new ball of wax. So I find myself near the bottom of a steep learning curve but the community here seems extremely helpful so I'm comforted by the fact there's such a robust foundation of support. 

 

A little about my setup, my server was a cost effective eBay purchase with the following specs:

Supermicro CSE-825, 8 bay server

2x Intel E5520 2.26 Ghz 4-core processor

6x 4GB PC3 RAM

9650SE-12ML Raid Controller

 

I just got Plex and DelugeVPN up and running, with radarr and sonarr next on my list. Looking further down the line I would like to get PoE cameras installed and running through this as well.

 

Any recommendations for a newbie are greatly appreciated.
