>>59289323
I accumulated it over a long period of time, so its tough to give a single price. The mobo, CPU, RAM, and heatsink are from my old main machine (Its an i7 930 on a Gigabyte X85A-UD3R), I bumped them down into my server when I got a Skylake board about June last year. The drives I also built up over time. Ten of them are 3TBs, they're in a ZFS array, I got them two at a time over a space of about four years. You can get refurb 3TBs on Newegg for $60, so $600 for that. The PSU was like $50, it's more than enough for a machine without a powerful video card. The case was $90, plus another $40 for a generic rail kit to go on it. (Not pictured, since it took like a month to arrive on some Chinese freighter)

>>59289504
The fans are pretty quiet if you put them on those little variable controllers. The drives are the loudest part of it. Its not silent, but pretty quiet. Actually the no-name fans that come with the case will spin up from five volts, which shocked me. They don't move enough air to be useful at that speed though.

it's a nehalem so it's not exactly low power. like 150 watts with the drives spun down and the CPU idle, about 300 with both loaded. I could probably do better if I underclocked it or something, but whatever

>>59289585

To anyone who use laptop as their homeserver, did you use the battery 24/7 or did you just unplugged it? I'm curious whether it'll burn my house down if I leave it be.

>>59300798
If it's plugged in 24/7 take the battery out mane. It's standard ops.

>>59300798
I'll expand briefly on the why. Depending on how many cells the battery has determines how many charge cycles it lasts roughly speaking. You only want the battery in when charging to full to eventually discharge it while unplugged.

>>59295466

That's fine for just the OS

I use a mac mini g4 (even older than the ones in >>59297786 ) with a 2tb drive and an IDE adapter in it.

I took the cpu and ram out of an old laptop with a first gen i7 and put it on a secondhand itx mobo. Currently has an i7 740qm with 16 gigs of ram. Custom made a bracket to fit a hyper 212 Evo on it so it's very quiet. Put an ssd on it and 6 green drives I had laying around from dead pcs people gave me.

Only caveat is that since the i7 740qm has no integrated graphics it needs a gpu on it. Wanted to run it headless but the mobo won't boot unless it detects some graphics adapter. Wanna work around that but I'm being lazy about it.

>>59305463
Cont.

Might retire that one since I was given a pc with a dead mobo running an i3 4130t. Thinking of getting a mobo for it and using it as a server instead or getting a nic and turning it into a pfsense router while keeping the first gen mobile i7 as the server.

create a jail in freenas and use the jail for other things
ideally create jails for every permanent task

Does this count?
45 watt tdp to replace the 65 watt i3 I had in there
Whenever the nics come in I'm going to install freenas on there and virtualize it.
I'll probably give it 8 gigs of ram since that was plenty before

freenas has to be run on baremetal.

i always wonder what the people who have around the same amount of hardware as a small-ish company in their house do to even warrant that much money and effort

I've run little test things in a VM just fine
and I've talked to a few people online who run it just fine in a VM
It's just one of the developers that's retarded

for ultimate data hoarding

is that an antec isk 110? anything negative about that case?
was thinking about getting a mini itx case like that.

>>59310408
no

>>59310704
that isn't even that much money on my part, probably $1000 including the drives inside the ts140. 2 of those servers were free and the firewall is a spare for testing i dont own it.

its going to cost another $1000 just to fill the top one with 6tb reds, and since i dont immediately need it the thing is just powered off.

as it stands the entire table is 550w constant power

>>59310889

I would just do 4TB reds (or better yet, HGSTs for maybe $5-10 more a drive). The premium you pay for 6TB isn't worth it.

Want to make a home server that records shows (using OBS+Browser) and shares them online (Flex maybe?).
6TB is about the capacity I'd like
Files shared go from 6-10GB each

Thinking of using Pis but not sure about how to go about it, another option is using Synology products though they're a tad expensive and I'm not sure how I'd record with their OS
Is it even possible with a budget of ~$300?
Do I have to use NAS hard drives or is it just a trick?
