Well I've been busy buying parts! I basically started finding great deals on stuff and am now building a box way more capable than I started out looking for....BUT it can do a lot more than just sit there storing files so I'm glad I am doing more with it. Itll be more useful this way.
I have....
Fractal Design 7 case
Fractal Design 760 watt psu
Asus x99 Deluxe ii motherboard
Xeon e5-2690v3 CPU with Noctua fan
G Skill Trident Z 4x8gb
Four 6Tb hgst hdds
Samsung 970 eco plus nvme ssd 500gb
256gb ssd
Asus strix rx580 oc GPU
I like that the mb supposedly has very good audio quality with the audio components seperated from the rest of the board and high quality caps, also has a toslink which I can hook up to my Yamaha wxc-50.
I think I've fully decided to run Unraid OS so I can run Plex in a docker and a virtual Windows 10 for gaming and maybe Roon.
Should be pretty sweet! I'm excited about it.
It's basically turned into a NAS/media server/ gaming capable box....all in one rig. With components that have rgb and gaming capable, my teen son became interested so now it's a project him and I will be doing together.....which makes it all worth it.
