Guest asrequested Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Sweet setup! Is it me or does this look like this is taken from space with the Earth in view out the window? Lol.. That's what I thought, too
Guest asrequested Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Just ordered the rest of my current list of goodies. It's going to be a good Christmas, this year
Guest asrequested Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Still waiting on some cables and shelves for the rack, but they should be here, this week Edited December 14, 2016 by Doofus 3
Guest asrequested Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 toys!!! mmmmmm hours of fun Yup! I'm gonna do my fan / fan controller mods. I'll assemble the rack on the weekend. And then next week, when I'm on vacation, I'll do the rest (hopefully all the cables will be here by then)
Guest asrequested Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 whats in boxes with M on? Those are the cat6 cables that I like so much
Guest asrequested Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 New fans, fan controller and optical drive, in 3
PenkethBoy 2068 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 curious - can you get replacement fan walls for that case? looks like you could fit 120mm fans without too much modification? think i would be planning a future session with my jig saw or getting a new wall plate made

I'll see how well these work, I can always switch out, later.
PenkethBoy 2068 Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 are thought i had read it somewhere - those noctura fans are nice - worth the money
PenkethBoy 2068 Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Had a delivery today a couple of Hex core L5640 Xeon babies to update one of my servers and yes that is a cat paw
Guest asrequested Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Nice! I want to head in that direction, at some point
PenkethBoy 2068 Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) Only £35 each from quad to Hex core should be a good power bump with 8 more threads with less power draw any more pic's of your build yet? Edited December 15, 2016 by PenkethBoy
Guest asrequested Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 Only £35 each from quad to Hex core should be a good power bump with 8 more threads with less power draw any more pic's of your build yet? Nothing more to show, yet. Looks like the rest of the stuff will be delivered, tomorrow. But I'll probably pick it up next week at the post office. I'll assemble the rack, this weekend. I'll post a picture when it's up.
Guest asrequested Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 I was fairly content with what I had... until I saw this thread, lol.
Heckler 147 Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 I rebuilt mine 18-20 months ago and thought I'd built something pretty special... Now I've got server envy again. Still I built mine to a very small and strict budget... case, MB, ram, cpu, cooler, psu, ssd ran me about the £400 mark... after an accident with my old one forced a premature rebuild. So I got very good value for my money. Aside from more storage the only upgrades I'll be undertaking for the next few years will be grabbing one of the last AM3+ 8 core processors when prices hit rock bottom (AM4 is out in a few months) and swapping over the R9 280X graphics card from my gaming rig when I rebuild that next year.
Guest asrequested Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 PDU and rack shelves have landed. Hopefully I can pick the cables up, tomorrow, then I'll have everything...for now
PenkethBoy 2068 Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 have you got annoyed with those pesky nut things you put in the square holes - took me a while not to ping them across the room when putting them in place
Guest asrequested Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Lol, I did have a "**** you" moment, but then I figured a quick way to put them in.
Guest asrequested Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Got the cables, now. I was all happy, until I realized the server rails haven't shown up.
politby 88 Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 I think I posted in this thread a long time ago but I think it's time for an update as a lot has changed. The main change related to Emby is that I finally found a way to migrate off WMC and I am now using LibreELEC with the DVBlink add on on the clients, running on NUCs. This is the main TV lounge/theater. A Samsung 60KS7005 on a BDI Aviion stand. Front and center speakers are Elac FS123 series with a pair of Pioneer Atmos add ons. A pair of miVoc hYPE 10 inch subwoofers are placed in front of each front speaker. Another pair of Elacs act as surrounds. A pair of Infinity Classia units are configured as a second set of Atmos speakers for a total of 5.2.4. Amplification is handled by a Pioneer SC-LX79. On the shelf below it is a Roku Ultra and the aforementioned NUC. An Echo Dot and Harmony Hub. I spent a fair amount of time on the wiring. 3
Heckler 147 Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 How I long for a lottery win... for many reasons... only one of which is to have a dedicated theatre room in the house I'm gonna build... Served up by a kick ass setup that will put of of yours to shame. Until then... I'll just have to be sad whilst looking at mine wishing it was bigger and better... and the same goes for my HTPC
