Thanks for the input everyone, I pulled the trigger and ended up with this I thought about how I might track the PSU temps for peace of mind and I remembered that I have a handful of ATtiny85 devices from a prior project, as well as a thermister from the old hot end of my 3D printer (I...

Just an i5- 8600k GPU is an old 1060 my buddy had laying around. To be honest I'm not sure about integrated graphics transcoding, I'm totally new to running Plex. Pretty sure even a 1060 is overkill. But it wasn't being used so I figured I'd give it a purpose. As Kurt Vonnegut said in The Sirens...

Had to break up my responses due to spam detection... You're probably right, the load shouldn't be to intense, at least at first until I start playing around with new things. At the moment the only plans I have for this server is to run VM's for security camera software, a b.t.c. node...

I agree it's not ideal, but I saw other people doing it with flow-through style ATX PSU's (where the air flows from front to back rather that coming in from the side, this design doesn't seem very common anymore for ATX PSU's, I literally only found one and it wasn't a modular PSU) and figured I...

Thanks for your input everybody! Those heatsinks are definitely my main concern, however I think even if the air is being forced around the capacitors, since it will be flowing toward the vent in the back it should pass over those heatsinks reasonably well. Since this GPU doesn't have the...

Hey everyone, this is my first post. Been lurking for a longtime and it seemed like a good place to post a question like this. I'm building a 2U server (with a custom chassis - using 3D printed parts and a 2U rack mount shelf) for my homelab and while deliberating power supply options just...
