Daraxerxes Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hi everyone, so for almost 6 years now I have been building my own computers and repairing them. Here recently I have decided to do something new which is build my own NAS (network attached server) and wireless router. If anyone has any tips they would like to share or what hardware and OS/software to use, please feel free! If you would also just like to talk about your gaming/computer setup and specs, I always enjoy seeing what other people have built and why they built them the way they did especially since my current computer is getting out of date and I would like ideas on what to put in my new rig!

Daraxerxes Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 That's how I feel whenever I go into forums and youtube videos to figure this stuff out. Link to comment
Hess Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I have no working knowledge of servers, but my build can be seen here It's nothing special, just didn't want this thread to die cuz I think its cool to see people's builds. Link to comment
Rafi Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I have a friend who's built his own media server, but have no clue as to what went into it. If you don't mind potentially illegal downloads, he has it automatically downloading dozens of shows, movies, and more for access from his smart tv, computer, iphone, etc. On 7/16/2020 at 5:03 PM, Hess said: I have no working knowledge of servers, but my build can be seen here It's nothing special, just didn't want this thread to die cuz I think its cool to see people's builds. Why on earth do you need 9.5 TB of hard drive space? Link to comment

Damin Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I have extremely limited experience with PLEX but... so far I've quite enjoyed using it. Here is a video: Link to comment

That's a nice build. I would have done something similar if I had chosen to build a PC instead of getting a laptop. Link to comment
Code Magick Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 @Daraxerxes you can look into FreeNAS to manage your Network Attached Storage depending on what you're looking to use it for. There's also Plex for mostly media content or Emby which is similar in use to Plex, but offers a few different features. Link to comment
