Currently, some of my interests for what I'd like my server to do are:
- Self-hosted cloud for immediate family and myself
- Ability to perform entire computer backups
- Plex server
- NAS
- DVR
- Web server
- Private game server
- NVR backup using RTSP somehow
- RTX 2080
- 850 Watt ATX Power supply
- CaseLabs SMA8 with support for 18 3.5" hard drives
- 32 GB regular desktop RAM (4 x 8 GB)
- Dell PERC H310 x 2 in IT mode - to support up to 16 hard drives
- 4 x Mini SAS to 4 SATA backplane cables since each of the Dell PERC cards have 2 slots each
- Elgato 4K60 pro - the idea behind this is to be able to use it for the DVR function
- Had a i9 9900ks but I sold it when I decided I wanted to start this project
- Maximus ROG XI Extreme z390 motherboard - going to sell this since I wouldn't have enough PCIe lanes on this platform to support the GPU (16 lanes) + the 2 RAID cards (8 lanes each) + the capture card (I think it's 4 lanes) = at least 36 PCIe lanes.
- A bunch of 1 TB drives, but planning on buying some external drives to shuck
- A couple 128 GB M.2 SSDs (can't remember if they're SATA or NVME at the moment).
