BSweet Posted Sunday at 08:13 AM Posted Sunday at 08:13 AM I would love to see a thread of the machines people are putting this OS on. If people could post the specs of the machine such as storage, RAM, CPU, GPU?, etc with the optional performance results, that would probably help a lot of other people know how to get similar results. 1 Quote
melle Posted Sunday at 02:11 PM Posted Sunday at 02:11 PM Would love some budget recomdations. (in power or price) I dusted off my old machine and it seems to have gone to meets its maker. Quote
michrech Posted Sunday at 03:18 PM Posted Sunday at 03:18 PM I'm going to be using a custom built system for my install. It's currently running TrueNAS Scale 24.10.0.2. Erying motherboard with an ES 11'th gen laptop CPU (I have no idea which one it's supposed to be. I can only tell you it's got 8c/16t and runs at 2.2GHz 16GB DDR4 RAM LSI 9211-8i HBA (in IT mode) Six 6TB SATA disks Silverstone CS380 case This is actually my 'backup' storage server, and is what I'll be using for HexOS. 🙂 Quote

Taptile Posted Monday at 04:02 PM Posted Monday at 04:02 PM I've got a Zimaboard with 2x 4TB Seagate Ironwolf drives mounted on the back of my TV, bolted into the VESA mount of my TV. I really think this is the perfect home setup as long as your TV is not wall mounted. It's also practical to have the TV there when you need a monitor for the server, as I just did during the setup. 1 2 Quote

Mawson Posted Tuesday at 06:17 AM Posted Tuesday at 06:17 AM I've got two budget builds right now. One core feature I focused on was getting motherboards with built in IPMI so I wouldn't have to fuss around with extra monitors and/or a KVM, so that lead me to Ebay for used Supermicro gear. "Rincewind" - My local server $20 Random-butt rack case from back when George W. was in office. $120? SilverStone 3x 5.25" ODD to 5x 3.5" HDD cage (SST-FS305-12G) $0 120 GB Kingston boot SSD $0 5x random 2TB HDDs ~$600+ (These need replaced before full deployment. Need at least 24TB usable to match the other server) $70 Fujitsu 9211-8i HBA $30 Supermicro X9scm-f LGA1155 server motherboard with IPMI $17 Xeon E3-1240 $40 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600Mhz un-buffered ECC RAM (Will upgrade to 32GB before full deployment) Total cost: ~$300 w/o drives. ~$900 w 6x10TB incl. cold spare "TheLibrarian" - Remote server at the parent's house. (Original PC was something I got from a customer at work when we upgraded their home theater) $0 Used Nanoxia Deep Silence 3 (iirc) $0 8x random 4TB HDDs that came with the case $0 Crucial boot SSD (came with the case) $0 2x Bluray drives (came with the case) $70 Fujitsu 9211-8i HBA $55 Supermicro X10SSL-F LGA1150 server motherboard with IPMI $30 Xeon E3-1246 v3 $40 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600Mhz un-buffered ECC RAM (Will upgrade to 32GB before full deployment) Total cost: ~$190 w/o drives. 1 Quote

What do you guys think of potentially running this on an actual NAS like this one? UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus (Intel Pentium Gold 8505 5-Core CPU, 1 * 10GbE, 1 * 2.5GbE, 4K HDMI) Quote
