Does anyone have experience with Plex transcoding and Ryzen? Is there any chance this would be a good machine for that? I see it has a ton of power and GPU on the cpu. I am tempted to buy two and use them for a vmware cluster even. Though i might have to use something else like proxmox if vmware...

Damn, wish i was in SoCal.... I really really want one of these for my living room rack. lol.

$105 for 50 drives or more if anyone wants to go in with me lol. I only want like 4-6 maybe.

Yeah, that is my experience with the SM rails. They seem super basic compared to the super beefy Dell rails I'm used to.

Can anyone comment on the generic rails that seem to come with these? The site has two options but the auction comes with the generic opposed to the SM ones. Personally, i installed my first SM rail 2U server like this not long and am not a huge fan of them. The chassis keeps popping out of the...

Thanks for that info! And hmm maybe i will start with a cheaper CPU then. I was going to hit the 3900X straight away. The 3950X just seems like a cost prohibitive jump.

Sorry, i should have explained better. I would like to build a white box ESXi server because i keep running into heat/noise issues with my traditional hotswap chassis from Dell, Chenbro, Supermicro. So i saw the (yes, Silverstone) server someone built on /homelab and decided a Ryzen ESXi lab...

I recently found this(attached picture) on the homelab and have been toying around with the idea of a new build. This board might be exactly what I need... IPMI, on board M.2, Ryzen, and plenty of space for more M.2 risers + a 10Gbe card. Just need to see if Vmware will run on it. I'm just tired...

Hello Folks, I'm trying to find another Supermicro board to replace this one, X10SL7-F , as I purchased it on the deals forums before really scoping out my project. I'm not realizing I should have purchased a board with more PCIe slots for ZSF cache drives, 10Gbe adapters, HBA/Raid cards...

Are some disks writable and have you swapped out the other disks on that PCIe card to see if its the card itself? I'd be curious if connected directly to the mobo if they all work or if some are actually dead, dead.

I think i'm losing my mind. So I have a Mikrotik router which has a WAN of my Arris cable modem. I have no freaking clue how this is working, but it seems the Arris has an IP of 192.168.0.1 and it's accessible on my WiFi network!?! So freaking confused. Anyway, I ended up pulling an old 8port...

Hey guys, I just bought 4 of the R600's recently posted in the deals section, but I'm having a horrible time getting access to them. I've used both POE and adapter, but ping only responds for 2 packets between boot up and final solid green. Wifi "configure.me-xxxxxx" is available and I can...

Not to hate on AMD, but I'm just not a fan of their CPUs. I hear the 6500T cpu is desirable, but curious how this would compare? Ever since seeing these mini PCs, i realize it would be a great way to upgrade my parents machines as well as build a small cluster.

@semidetached, can you let us know about how loud the server is when you get a chance? Also power consumption if possible, but thats probably something I can lookup.

I am... the worlds laziest human i think. lol. I'll post it on ebay this weekend maybe. :-)

I also communicated with the seller and they said they will try to get orders of 4 or more for around $15

bump... sending this to ebay in a week i think. I'm open to offers and some trades. Mostly interested in systems or ram or SSDs.

Bump

Title says it all I think. I'd love to get around $15 a stick, but I'm not following current prices, so let me know what you got. Thank you!

And that would make more sense, lol. I'm considering using this as a FreeNAS server to replace my X9 setup with dual CPU. I just dont need the power and would like to reduce my electrical spend. My only concern is that i have 64gb now, and i run 8x8TB... Can anyone comment if i'm making a bad...
