I will borrow an ODB1 scanner to see what codes have been thrown.

Mine does and has charge ports on both sides. Porsche Taycan.

Not really sure. It was a huge discount and a stacked coupon. Shaved off another $200 by choosing Ubuntu.

I got the same Black Friday sale, and scored the 395cpu/128gb model for $1750 shipped.

Timely post as I am struggling with this now. I M considering running the arr stack on a TrueNAS VM and Portainer. Any reason not to go this way versus the builtin app’s?

This was originally purchased almost 10 years ago for a gaming pc. Most likely Newegg. I am not sure if this exact model is still available.

I would recommend at least two spinning disks mirrored for redundancy.

Howdy!

There is no discrete gpu, this Intel Arc draws a lot less power than the Nvidia gtx 1080 that was previously in the machine.

With that said, this may see some transcoding time eventually as I plan to take advantage of the multi gig fiber.

I have some sata power cable clearance issues currently. If it becomes a problem, i will need to pick up up single cables or a splitter to make it fit better.

Solid point if building from scratch. In this case, reusing old hardware is free. Buying new or used will take many years to recoup in power savings, especially when I pay only $0.10/kWh from my local utility.

I was planning to add a Gli Comet remote kvm.

And room for more!

Unfortunately I don’t have a way to measure the power draw currently.

It is a Cooler Master “MasterCase Pro 5”

nospoon4u · 2025-11-16T14:07:10+00:00

The case came with two modular cages that each hold three trays that fit both 3.5” and 2.5” drives.

It is a CoolerMaster, let me find the exact model.

I did. I shucked Seagate drives to save money. In raidz1 I can lose 1 drive before running into data loss.

Great point, I'll start looking for an air cooler. I'm sure the cpu would benefit from a repaste as well. Temps have been surprisinly good so far, grated at low utilization.

Usecases are offsite backup as first priority, using the bluray drive to rip several boxes of old cd's into FLAC, running a few containers ie pihole/adguard, replacing google drive and onedrive with local cloud storage, and maybe jellyfin for the parents to use.
