stepmback Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 My wife is getting annoyed with me spending all my free time messing around with unraid. I have my old server running unraid now so we are getting, by however my next plan is build out a completely new server but with newer hardware. I would just add the drives and configure unraid. I am thinking of something along the lines of: supermicro 24 bay case, new motherboard, CPU (Ryzen), 32GB RAM, HBA, 10gps nic, cooler, graphics card (P2000), PSU, etc. Are there companies out there or reputable people out there that could build me an UnRaid server that meets my specs? I could probably due it myself but spending the time does not make for a happy wife. Quote Link to comment
ramblinreck47 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 How much time do you think it takes? Also, are you including researching what you want to buy into that? The research should take the longest time and then the actual build shouldn’t take more than 2-3 hours. Quote Link to comment
stepmback Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 I have done some research and have an idea of what I want. I will look into building it further and post my specs when I think I have it all nailed down. Thanks, Quote Link to comment

After that, it's pretty simple to put together. A quick installation guide would be easy to write up. Quote Link to comment
stepmback Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) That would be ideal. My primary use of this server would be plex and media but I also would like to create some VMs for testing. I could do this on the cheap but then I would be upgrading as I needed more resources. I figure I may as well do it once. I am looking at Ryzen 3900X or 3800X with cooler, 32GB RAM, Motherboard, HBA card . I would have 20 data drives. Would be nice to have 2 MVE drives so I can parity them as cache but not critical.. I could always use SSD. The motherboard is my biggest concern. Want something that can handle the 3900x/3800X and give me expansion to add cards down the road. At some point I plan on adding a graphics card and a 10GPS nic. I have the chassis/case and the power supply covered. Edited July 13, 2020 by stepmback Quote Link to comment
