Sorry, I feel pretty dumb about this post. Since it has has PCI slots, I was able to plug in a video card and do my install. With this NAS there is a fair amount of sharing PCIe lanes, so I'll have to decide whether or not to leave the video adapter in there at the loss of some lanes for the...

This NAS has a Xeon D-1622 and 16 GB of RAM. Comes with a QNAP NAS OS. Unfortunately, no video output at all. I did find a console header on the motherboard, and a poorly labeled header that might support an eDP display via a ribbon-type cable. I was considering trying to install TrueNAS...

Checking today, it shows a 1 year warranty. Also "488 sold in the last 24 hours." Actually, the listing has I guess Ebay boilerplate that says 1 year refub warranty. The seller description does say 3-yr warranty.

Not sure how to troubleshoot this problem. I never seen any errors in the host log, usually I don't have time to tinker and get into the guest OS and see if it has errors. I'm going to try to wire in a serial-port host connection so I can access the guest (OPNsense) on my gui-less console PC.

I have the CWWK N100 version with 4 ports. I'm passing my 2.5Gbit NICs through to a Proxmox VM running OPNsense. I've developed a problem where the passed-through ports don't work properly after 48 hours or so. Always happens at a low-traffic time at night. Rebooting the OPNsense VM doesn't...

Final Final Bump

$350 for the whole package or $250 for the mobo only.

Last bump!

Bump for updated prices and addition of AMD GPU

Looks like $100 $80 would be fair for this. Not sure about any Windows stuff for it. I ran Linux and OPNsense (BSD) on it.

Like many others, downsizing the home lab and recapitalizing into other gear. 3) HP/ T620 PLUS Thin Client Quad Core GX-420CA 16/4+Intel GB 4-port GigE adapter Asking **NEW PRICE** $50 plus shipping OBO 4) Avocent (now Veritiv) MPU2016 IP KVM Device Including 6 Avocent branded "CIMs" -- USB...

Recently, we purchased a number of mid-level FS switches for an update to our infrastructure. Two weeks ago we deployed a switch as a temporary stand-in while while re-wiring was done. The switch should have been past its "infant mortality" stage as it had been burned in for a couple months...

Best Buy is having the easystore 14TB drives in a "pre-Black Friday" sale for $200. Supposedly if you're a BB member, you get guaranteed prices if they fall lower on bf.

I know most folks on STH probably aren't shuckers, but B&H Photo (much more respectable IMHO than NewEgg) as the above drive on sale for just today. Doing the math, we're at $15.83 per TB, so getting closer to "good deal" territory. It will be interesting to see if these slip further for black...

I was able to resolve the BMC upgrade problems and install Proxmox via USB stick. No luck getting the SMB "virtual media" working using a Linux samba server so far, but that isn't a deal-killer for my app. Wish it supported browser-based virtual media like some other solutions though.
