My 265k build

[Mobius]

Thankfully its not the cost that is 265k but just the name of the cpu. I originally planned on waiting for some bargain bin discounts on a 245k but Microcenter had a decent enough deal on a 265k+mobo
 

• Cpu - Core Ultra 265k
• Mobo - Asus Z890M-Plus Prime WiFi
  • Realtek RTL8125 2.5gb
• Ram - 4 x Gskill Ripjaws m5 48gb 5200mhz cl 40 
• Storage 
  • 2 x 16 tb Seagate skyhawk ai hdd
  • 3 x 14 tb Seagate exos hdd
  • 1 x 2 tb Samsung 980 pro ssd
  • 1 x 256 gb Samsung 960 evo ssd (boot drive)
• PSU - Super flower leadex se 1000w 80+ platinum
• Case - Phanteks p500a

 

Cpu/mobo/ram were new but everything else were parts i had lying around at home thats why it seems like such a weird build.

 

Things i had to do to get things to work

• Set secure boot to custom and other os because of shim error
• use a usb nic because the Realtek RTL8125 was disabled by truenas because it causes issues with iscusi
  • afaik i'm not planning on using iscusi so im trying to turn it back on either via tunable or driver installation (neither of which i know how to do)
• Since my drives are of different sizes and i just want one big pool i had to create the drive via the truenas interface
• I actually created a 2nd "stripe" pool of just my 2tb 980 pro for an app dedicated ssd via truenas but as of now hexos interface goes crazy when it sees a single drive pool

 

Plans for the future

• move everything to a jonsbo n5 whenever the prices goes down a bit
• maybe swap psu with something more efficient
• wait for hexos to support single drive pools after which i will start adding apps.
• install arr stack, jellyfin, nextcloud and immich

Congrats for working setup!

You have WiFi mobo but you use lan cable to connect to router?

thanks
truenas/hexos does not support wifi so i have to use lan. For a casual user like myself i would be plenty happy if wifi worked and i could stick the server in a corner that is out of they way.
hopefully its a feature thatll be implemented in a few years.

i don't have a kill a watt for me to test. if there is a way to test in software i'd be more than happy to check

edit: found a kill a watt for a reasonable price online, i will use it if i can get it. That said still curious about any software method
