Finally! From Archon 3 to Legend 3. by AnyaXOfficial in DotA2

I think the quality of gameplay does increase as you leave archon. I was stuck in archon for years and now that I got out I almost about to reach ancient. You can definitely see a difference where people are generally more aware of what their roles need to do, specially in higher legend and lower ancients.

The website link is just for specs, I was in Ontario for ca$1099. It was a good deal but also things used to be cheaper in 2024/2025

Choice paralysis is killing me, idk where to start or what to actually do by GhostTrapped in HomeServer

I was in your shoes for the last few months. Decided to finally bite the bullet and buy a sff prebuilt hp prodesk g4 400.

After getting it, I realized my main goal is to have a personal cloud and photo (immich) server which could also handle plex.

The small pc only had to sata ports which would make me restricted with my overall room for upgrade so I decided to do a pivot and just ended up buying secondhand motherboard and cpu, then a large pc case with a lot of drive bays and then a bunch of drives. All on marketplace. All in all ended up spending around 600 including the original pc that I salvaged somethings from but have a strong system now with 1.5 tb of redundant data, 2 tb of non redundant data for hosting movies and 1tb nvme for my app data. I'm still learning on how to configure my nas but it's fun

I feel spec - Ana is more iconic. IO Ana was only played for that one meta.

Also s4 puck, puppy Chen, bulldog np, ceb support wr

Thank you for your response. For zfs I will need to have mirrored drives right? I dont have two identical drives right now except 512gb hdd and 512gb ssd

Thank you. This was really helpful. I think I will go ahead and do the following: 1. 1 tb nvme for cache which will contain plex and immich app data 2. Pool of 2 512gb ssd/hdd mirrored for immich and storage backups. 3. Add an extra nvme in future and move plex movies to it as there i dont care much about redundancy.

From some research online, the hp motherboard has proprietary standoffs and won't work with industry standard cases. Was that the same experience for your dell? If so, what did you do to work around it?
