Im actually jealous, Houston is the closest stores that have recyclers that sell similar. All I have is FB market where people think a gtx970 is worth $200. make sure you show off them new builds
Yeah Jonp and the rest of the crew have been working like crazy to get things rolling to have a more solid date for us, Just keep in mind we are in Q1 so a lot can happen in the remaining quarters left.
Also to note depending on what you have and what you are going to move to. I have made many moves of hardware and I use the same boot drive . The back end can be very versatile
LOL I chose that profile pic becasue it cracks me up. Back story is that it came from a interview with a texas rapper known as That Mexican OT. I paused it to hear something the wife was telling me and turned back to see that. From that point on I screen grabbed it and used it
There is this one on the main web page https://hexos.com/blog/the-road-to-10
I can tell you working with the mods and Jonp there is a lot of moving parts the HexOs crew / devs are doing to get things rolling. It will be a process for them but I can tell you they are working to make sure the upcoming updates and Alpha release will be solid.
I have done it in working environment and it lasted a week then we moved to a ssd. Mainly it was Really slow to respond, it was a good usb3 media in a usb3 port
I could say you could find a used dell / hp /lenovo surplus pc and add a pair of drives for a good start. I would stay with 4th gen intel or newer would put you in the right range. Hdds might be a hard one to manage at this price point but a pair of 2tb or 3tb might be able to be found to stay in budget
I am use to running more than 1 thing out of a box, In that list i put a 12gb 3060 and this can be used for plex, Home AI Vm's ect. I personally have not had good experiences using Igpu's in a virtual environment "ie Proxmox" ,
So if i was going to build a New Nas This list of parts is where I would start
Then I would add LSI SAS CARD but the case is a bit tricky if you wanted large storage pools,
The Case is a bit of an oddity - the ones that I would choose are are from ALi Express and could be a bit tricky getting shipped in with out damage.
What is your budget ? I can make a recommendation if I knew where to keep it money wise and what your plans were, " just a NAS, Running VM's / Docker, ect" I have an idea in my head where I would go but LMK what holes I need to help fill.
