    You can be not very accurate here. x86 Celeron based SBC can be more power efficient than Arm based. Surprise? For me too. Anyway, Arm based systems are cheaper and I selected Arm for a home server. Did you consider also Apple Arm? Mac Mini can be perfect for a home server, but it can be a bit expensive.

    I see a lot of these guys claiming you can run a home server on a Raspberry Pi, BUT I have to question the honest value in this claim, because the problems of hooking up storage devices to a Pi isn't exactly the type of computer you can actually store a number of larger files on!! And a Raspberry Pi, isn't overloaded with a large number of SATA ports so adding drives to one is nearly impossible, if you have a bunch of larger files as well!!

    For example my music collection alone has over 30,000 songs in it, and the hard drive I currently have my collection on, is a 3 terabyte for added capacity as I add music to it! But generally speaking the total collection in whole consumes nearly 2 terabytes by itself, and one I begin adding other files I want to share like photos, video and documents, I could easily fill a bunch of 3 or 4 terabyte drives easy enough!! AND keep in mind I am an old guy who has been working on and with computers since the 1980s, SO my collected data is pretty large by this point!! And while there are things I now long use like old software and some stored data, my collection isn't totally "sorted" either!!

    realy nice option this one ,is a rig i will consider getting in few years , o a epic , my current workstation is base on 2011-3 xeon i buy in 2016 , and my server is base on 1150 i5

    Hi I wanted to know if you used this Dell with Truenas scale and if you did. Did you used GPU passthrough i purchased a Dell T7920 i can't get it to passthrough Gpu thank you for your time

  8. @michaelac720

    October 4, 2024 at 4:16 am

    I’m about to build my first home server and funny enough I’ll be using a 5820 aswell. I was able to get this one for FREE. The specs are insane! I9 9980XE, P4000 GPU, 128GB ram.

    October 4, 2024 at 4:16 am

    HI , DELL T7910 can support ESXI 8 version as hypervisor. ?

  10. @MrPedantik

    October 4, 2024 at 4:16 am

    I went with T5600 but could not get HDD ports to work. HDD ports 0-4 would work in bios but not in OS unless connected to Sata ports 0 or 1

  11. @aaronjones356

    October 4, 2024 at 4:16 am

    This was a good guide, unfortunately with a 75+w idle this would cost me $25/month to run

  12. @michaelwest6727

    October 4, 2024 at 4:16 am

    THANK-YOU I will take your advise. I will use my spear system to convert into a server. If I may it would be great to tell you want are the components and your advice would be truly appreciated!

    October 4, 2024 at 4:16 am

    I wasn't aware that you can Install a SATA HD into a SAS connector, OR is this model only use SATA connectors? My DELL 7810 only uses SATA, as It has no SAS onboard. GREAT video BTW

    October 4, 2024 at 4:16 am

    I was given one (Dell PowerEdge R210 II) by a guy from marketplace last month (Dec 2023). Now I have two more. R620 and T410 in an 18RU Server Rack. Now I'm hooked and I'm blaming that guy 😅

    When it comes to enterprise equipment, atom is NOT cheaper than x86. I'm currently looking for hardware to use as a firewall. Every single name brand firewall uses atom, and it costs 4x what i can build a Ryzen 7 system with. I understand that comparing a consumer computer with an enterprise switch is a bit unfair, because of software considerations, But honestly they are charging three thousand dollars for hardware from fifteen years ago. Any consumer grade I t x motherboard With anything more than two cores that you can buy for under two hundred dollars, can be cheaper and a faster router than any three thousand dollar enterprise router.

    how can i run the server on my laptop? im new in this and i am using blender and cad programs and i have in the lap top but i dont want to lose and i need more ram with the server. 🙂

    October 4, 2024 at 4:16 am

    Just bought the same exact system. I want to use it as a storage,VM and home assistant.

    My question do I need a powerful GPU or can I just buy a cheap one?

    I’m installing trueNas scale on it.

    You're making the same mistake as several other channels here on YT by claiming that a PC of any kind can be a server. They simply are in no way, shape, manner, or form a server. These little mini PCs cannot run a NOS (Network Operating System) like Microsoft's Windows Server 2022 — the install disk will not allow you to because they need a completely different CPU (like AMD's EPYC server CPUs or Intel's Xeon server CPUs) and different chipset. You want a "home" server? Go buy a used HP ProLiant server and start with that. Be sure to get a rack to mount it in, along with your UPS, NAS, network switch, slide-out keyboard tray, monitor shelf, and maybe a tape backup drive (or you could use a KVM switch to your desk).

    October 4, 2024 at 4:16 am

    Huge over kill…. People for a home server just get a dell optiplex micro or a micro pc with a decent cpu i7 or i5 like 8-10gen with 32gb of ram and use proxmox and then learn about containerization and do docker containers and kubernetes half the cost and buy a couple and have a cluster with redundancy and add on a raspberry pi for pihole… dont need much even an old laptop laying around with virualization is perfectly fine proxmox or just a linux distro and do containerization.. the overhead on vmware or hyperv for a hypervisor eats alot of the performance along with bloated OS as windows GUI just do a shell install it still can be a domain controller just use sconfig and powershell…

  28. @frankie-_-amazon

    October 4, 2024 at 4:16 am

    I'm putting together a server can you tell me if the specs are okay it's a ryzen 9 6900 HX 8core 16 thread 3.3 GHz base clock 4.9 GHz boost clock 32 GB of ddr5 dual channel 5600mhz sodimm a 1 TB m.2 nvme SSD and a 500 GB M.2 nvme SSD it has high speed ethernet Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 Windows 11 and an RX 6700 XT 12 gigabyte graphics card I want to run a thousand slot do you think that's possible

  29. @suekuan1540

    October 4, 2024 at 4:16 am

    The de t5820 is tricky. I bought one that had 4 sata flexbays. I thought just buying the dell m2 nvme flexbay would work. You also have to buy a backplane for the nvme flexbays after taking out one of the 2 sata backplanes. The cables for the nvme flexbays fit to some connectors in the motherboard, plus the heat sensor cable. So, know your stuff for this model. Also the is a sas backplane i believe. I may resort to a pci card solution if the above is too much work as well as potential added costs

  30. @Spractral

    October 4, 2024 at 4:16 am

    10:26 did he say I can build my own CPU if I'm feeling whimsical ? Lol… Good video, no fluff or Bullshit… Trying to decide how to set things up for myself and deciding what hardware to use is such a difficult tradeoff equation… I already have a bunch of random devices I've collected over the years but deciding what to use wear, and not spending (much) more money is difficult. I need to just set it up so my haswell i5 desktop only turns on if/when needed for media serving (but don't think I can even do WOL with my mobo… So do I buy a new mobo? Seems silly to do for such an old setup .. questions like this are hard to answer). I think there simply IS no best answer; this is a problem people are still working on and the home server environment is still in its infancy

    Anyways, I appreciate the advice.

    October 4, 2024 at 4:16 am

    Can you say something about power consumption?

  32. @cliffordallen613

    October 4, 2024 at 4:16 am

    I need a server that can host more than one race at a time in a game called Assetto corsa instead of just my pc how does that work?

  33. @danielhulan3058

    October 4, 2024 at 4:16 am

    Please for the love of god stop saying XA6 instead of X86. Just stop altogether lol. We should make it a drinking game. Take a shot everytime he says xA6 (X86).

Wand monteerbaar server rack – 8U – WALLSHELF8U | StarTech.com

Wand monteerbaar server rack - 8U - WALLSHELF8U | StarTech.com



Dit wandmonteerbare rack biedt 8U ruimte voor de montage van uw servers of A/V-apparatuur aan een wand. Het rack heeft ook een ingebouwd schap waardoor u beschikt over een stevig oppervlak voor het opbergen van apparatuur die niet rackmonteerbaar is.

Personaliseer uw installatie
De aan de wand monteerbare steun heeft een verstelbare monteerdiepte van 12 inch tot 18 inch en ook een 30 cm (12 inch) schap met dubbele posities, dat zowel aan de bovenkant als aan de onderkant kan worden geplaatst afhankelijk van waar het rack zich bevindt. Deze twee kenmerken maken het u mogelijk om zowel de diepte als de layout aan te passen zodat uw apparaten en kabels zo goed mogelijk in te passen waardoor het rack zo goed mogelijk in uw ruimte past.

Maak optimaal gebruik van uw beschikbare ruimte
Het feit dat het 8U rack op de wand kan worden gemonteerd, maakt het u mogelijk om bureau- of vloerruimte vrij te maken — perfect voor uw SoHo (small office, home office) omgeving, serverruimte of elke andere plaats met beperkte ruimte.

Zorg voor een veilige en probleemloze installatie
Het wandrack is gemaakt van robuust staal voor een stevige en veilige montageoplossing voor uw cruciale apparatuur en omdat de onderlinge afstand van de wandmontagegaten 40 cm (16 inch) is, is het bij uitstek geschikt voor standaardgipsplaatwanden voor een eenvoudige en veilige bevestiging aan de wandbalken.

Advertisement

Voor een probleemloze installatie heeft het rack 10-32 ‘getapte’ rails, zodat u uw apparatuur direct aan de rail kunt monteren en geen lastige kooimoeren hoeft te gebruiken.

Bespaar geld met een voordelige, compacte verzenddoos
Het wandmonteerbare rack wordt geleverd in een platte doos om het transportvolume, en daardoor de transportkosten, aanzienlijk te verminderen, terwijl het ook meer bescherming biedt dan vooraf gemonteerde racks. Omdat het rack efficiënt is verpakt, kunt u het eenvoudig opbergen en transporteren, voor gebruik op een later tijdstip of op andere locatie dan waar het werd ontvangen.

De WALLSHELF8U wordt gedekt door een levenslange garantie en gratis levenslange technische ondersteuning van StarTech.com.
