Hi,
It's come to that point in my life where I would like to invest in a server and looking for direction on hardware. Having done some research i'm finding the options on hardware distracting (too many options and routes).
Purpose
Have also used https://uk.labgopher.com/ and found.

Before going pushing the button any ideas are most welcome.
Thanks
It's come to that point in my life where I would like to invest in a server and looking for direction on hardware. Having done some research i'm finding the options on hardware distracting (too many options and routes).
Purpose
- NAS - While the size of the pool is not a major concern atm a starting pool of around 8TB would be a good base to start from. I plan to use Proxmox as the OS and Truenas scale as the controller, so PCI passthrough is a must? At the moment I have no need for redundancy of the main data but perhaps some way of backing up VM images / snapshots?
- Plexserver - Have no need for transcoding, this will just be used for home use, direct stream all content.
- Usenet - The likes of NZBget, Raddar ...
- Roon / Jriver - A media server that can support DSD
- Work related - VMs Freeswitch, Avaya and other SIP based. None of these require much to run in a test environment and will only be spun up when testing.
- Cost - I have a budget of £1000, for all hardware inc HDD.
- Power - In the current climate power costs are a concern, the ability to shut down and restart serves when needed is something I need to learn.
- Noise - While this will be setup in a spare room, if the Mrs can hear the server running in the middle of the night I'm going to hear her
