    Supermicro 846 chassis standoffs

    I'm happy to grab more photos, It was pulled from a DC in Prague and I shipped it to the US. $400 all in (then fedex messed up on the quote and it cost me an extra $200 sadly in extra - not tariffs - shipping fees) so really ~$600 all in. But I've wanted one and by the time I got around to doing...

    Supermicro 846 chassis standoffs

    I purchased one MCP-110-00070-0N from Techy thinking that and it does not fit. It's female threaded on both ends, there's nowhere to attach it on the chassis. I have no male threads on my chassis that it attaches to, if you can circle where you see them so I can be 100% we are talking about the...

    mounting options - CSE-PTJBOD-CB2

    I have an answer and a question. What holes and which size screws were you using to mount a motherboard? Here is an image of how it looks from SMC I believe in my CSE846, these screw holes used are the larger "A"/"P" type holes. This is a larger size screw than the the "Z","C", "B" and "F"...

    To anyone who got one of these, how is it working out? I'm looking at one for Unraid ( or maybe truenas) and it would attach to something like a cluster of MS-01's or my existing 8700k lab machine.

    What compares to the Minisforum MS-01? Advice on alternatives?

    I'm interested in what you decided to go with here. Based on my research it's VERY hard to find something that meets the MS-01 at price point, especially with the new pricing. As of posting: * MS-01 barebones with i5-12600H is $419.00 USD * i9-12900H is $519.00 USD * i9-13900H is $679.00 USD...

    This is likely what I would do, I do this with my server now which runs proxmox and my pfsense install in my lab. I'd hope your i7-8700T is able to run that! What's the power draw like?

    This only really matters I think if you want to do VPN things with openvpn or similar. If you plan on Wire Guard it's not really useful. (This is for home use specifically). Though I would plan on trying to make sure I get something with it. Both the Intel® Pentium® Silver J5005, and its similar...

    (US) 90 dollar Wyse 5070 Thin client/mini-server?

    This is not a great option if you want to use it as , say a router. USB is much slower and the nics have issues with more advanced features.

    Oh, I meant I want to bare metal the the firewall and routing. I use switches for as much of the networking as I can to reduce the load on the CPU. I plan on using a pcie NIC for sure, not the internal one. I need at least two ports. One in for WAN and the LAN out to my switches.

    I see a lot of you running hypervisors on your boxes. I'm just trying to run opnsense or pfsense and replace an older atom E3805 which is having trouble handling gig speeds. Which box is generally used for this? I felt this project was the place to ask. For perspective I've looked into the...
