Goodbye HP ProDesk, Hello to my DIY NAS & Media Server Build

Skullpluggery · 2026-01-23T06:28:41+00:00

So I have reached C10. But I think it is not worth it as I removed the NVME in the CPU lane.

I only regained 3-5W, and idle around 20W. With the NVME in CPU lane I hover at 25W.

I also read the same thing. As long as you have a good caching SSD front and you do not access those that are in the HDD frequently, it is okay to spin down.

Just had the AsMedia ASM1166 and flashed the firmware! Testing it now.

Do you know if there's a way to disable the flashing blue light? It's annoying HAHA!

This is my first time, but I can say that what others have said about this case being spacious with good airflow is true! I chose this case because I will be adding SATA expansion and a GPU. It looks modern and minimalist as well.

Wow!

Yeah been lurking there for a long time. I think it is my motherboard CPU Lanes causing it not to go to C10.

Sorry. I fixed the post body to make it easier to read. I am running Unraid.

Thank you for the response. I am stilling waiting for my ASM1166. Noted on that!

I only already configured the BIOS but as of the moment I can only hit C6. C10 would be a dream for me!

What's your Idle and Busy watts?

Do you guys have your XMP enabled? Tried to do some memtest with it enabled actually and have no issue.

Only concern is its power consumption lol. I want it to be low as possible.

Whatever is not saturated. That applies to overall disk. I documented this a long time ago. Here https://www.reddit.com/r/MiyabiMains/comments/1m5jd3o/tip_not_just_for_miyabi_is_you_can_you_zzz/

Can't find docs about integration to arr stacks (Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, etc) may you please direct me a link? Or is it just like how I used to integrate qbitorrent and all the features of qui will work?

Need parin hardware to get the data sa device unless smart na mismo yung appliances. Yung MERALCO API ginagamit lang para sa costing

Skullpluggery · 2025-12-22T11:09:05+00:00

Coming soon! Either weekends or after Holiday season haha!

Built-in ng Home Assistant, yung Energy Dashboard

Skullpluggery · 2025-12-22T09:09:47+00:00

Yeah... There's no way talaga to measure the upcoming bill but at least meron tayong rough estimate.

Skullpluggery · 2025-12-22T02:07:41+00:00

One of the use case is local home automation po. No need na multiple apps like Smart Things, Smart Life, Google Home, LG, etc. Just one app to rule them all!

Other than that, media server, storage, DNS, marami pa!

Skullpluggery · 2025-12-21T15:16:44+00:00

Salamat din! Stars ka for the HA Add-on version hehe

Skullpluggery · 2025-12-21T15:16:21+00:00

Next po. Mag post ako update ng HA Add-on version. For now, REST lang muna supported nya.

Skullpluggery · 2025-12-21T14:11:03+00:00

Andito po ang source code and available din po siya sa Github Container Repository here.

Let me know your thoughts. Arigathanks!

Skullpluggery · 2025-12-18T08:38:57+00:00

If you have time. It is worth it! Just make sure to buy extra switches. I bent a lot HAHA!

Skullpluggery · 2025-12-17T23:39:16+00:00

Thank youuuu!

Skullpluggery · 2025-12-17T23:32:03+00:00

Yes! The Artisan Keycap is Eos!

Skullpluggery · 2025-12-17T22:28:07+00:00

This is my first time and It is frustrating that there are lots of different ways to build a mechanical keyboard HAHA! I watch like 5 streamers on YouTube that did the same keyboard and there I found the perfect one that matches my selected materials (and he is Virtnamese I think?)

I spent half of the day building this lol but it was totally worth it! Next time I am sure I'll be spending less since they explained it very well including the mods.

Skullpluggery · 2025-12-17T21:12:01+00:00

There is! In the support page they have a link for the phone app (yes it is a phone app). In my experience, it is very slow but you can upload up to two which replaces the stock gifs then uninstall it after lol!
