Weekly Share-Your-Build Post
This is part of a (semi-)weekly series of Share-Your-Build Post threads for everyone to share their builds, discuss different server solutions, and share knowledge and resources! Please be polite and helpful to beginners just getting started out, and we want to be as welcoming as we can to newcomers to this community.
Common info to share can include:
- Plex server make/model
- CPU and GPU info
- Storage solution info
- Plex add-on info (Radarr, Sonarr, Docker, etc.)
- other configuration info
Anyone who posts good starter guides, FAQs, and/or wikis may get their links added to the sidebar so the rest of the community can benefit!
Cheers!

Just added 5x18TB Seagate Ironwolf NAS (CMR) drives to my build.
it's a retired desktop/gaming pc
Edit: along with the 5 new drives, switched to a fractal R5 case to accommodate the amount of hard drives

I've been having a hard time finding an r5 case (I haven't looked real hard, but when I have they've been out of stock or very expensive)

$125 on Newegg https://www.newegg.com/black-fractal-design-define-r5-atx-micro-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811352048

Oh! I'm mixing this up with the r7 XL for it's "storage layout".

I switched from a rack mount to an R5 case and it's a lot more practical.
zahel@cosmere.xyz · 2 pts · 2y
Agreed. Rack mount is cool but I don’t have the space for that

Server
Raspberry pi4 to run XTeve

Also running an LSI 9211-8i P20 in IT mode - you pick that up from theartofserver or flash yourself?

My Plex server using parts from 2013
It was an old business PC that used a celeron which didn't handle Plex streams very well but I upgraded the H61 BIOS to accept 3rd gen i7 CPUs and the 3770s does a great job even with multiple streams going at once.
Besides Plex it's basically my seedbox and I have F@H running on 2 cores 24/7 to make use of the fact that it's always on. It's such a simple machine but I love it.
