Im currently looking to build a Jellyfin server/NAS (with unRAID) and I'm looking to buy a Lenovo Thinkcentre 910t (8GB ram, i5 7500) and install a few HDD's to increase storage. Does this seem like it would work? Should I upgrade to 16gb and how meaningful would that be? For reference, I'll be...

Sorry, last thing; would nextcloud even be necessary if I were to use the raspberry pi VPN? or could i just upload and download files?

Gotcha, makes sense for the backup. Nothing I would have installed on this would be unable to be replaced, but still good to know for redundancy. Also sorry about mentioning the T-word. didnt know it wasnt allowed. Ive been doing some research and ive come to this part list; 3600X gt 1030 8...

gotcha. so a system that receives requests to download a torrent could expose my network? what is a different data backup i could implement?

I’m flexible with the OS. Ive heard ubuntu is best and im willing to learn. Budget is probably $200ish including drives, outside of the parts i already have. would it be more cost effective to sell my 3600x and just buy an optiplex or something to gut? Im aware of the security risk this poses…...

I’m thinking about building a home server with some spare PC components lying around and some new/used ones I can purchase, but dont know where to start. My knowledge is currently very surface level in both hardware requirements and software. I want the server to have the following media...

For the last year or so, maybe 9 months, ive been having issues where my PC will stutter when a game is loading (both at boot and in the game itself). Examples In forza horizon 5, when starting a race, the loading animation will have multiple hitches. probably half a second each. very...

it is in the case, but again, i have already used system in the minium spec configuration

Build date was just another tab. I wont worry about Vbios That will be the next thing I try if swapping GPU does nothing

Also, VBios is at 90.04.86.40.11 Build date was 02-18-2020

Lets :) Worried that I will be stuck with current GPU if it does end up being a GPU issue...The warranty has expired as it was only a year and I got it in November. Can't afford a $500 GPU either right now.

Thats what im saying. Could have told me that 50 days earlier. Even gave them a whole packet of work I did for them. Oh well, what can you do. Might look around for a good one. Yep. Will hopefully get around to that soonish. If that has no fix, might try a new PSU, just to make certain its not...

I agree. Might test a buddies gpu. I took it to micro center for repair and they held it for 50+ days and couldnt do a thing. They said monitoring the PC to replicate symptoms was too time consuming.

I was thinking maybe my PC simply didn't have enough performance, and that there was no real problem. Regardless, I think that the unstable higher frequencies could be meaningful to the discussion. Maybe problem is GPU or PSU not giving enough power, causing unstable frequencies or stutters...

Might do this in a week or so if all else fails. would rather not as its definitely a hassle but i can.
