Home server thread?

-Plex Media server (Windows)
i3, 4gb, 9.5TB after format

-Blue Iris DVR (Windows)
i5, 4gb 1TBB

VPN/Download (Windows)
Q6600, 8gb, 1TB

As with any purchase, you shouldn't really buy it if you have nu use for it in the first place.

Anyone have some light server tools to share or tutorials for those looking to explore?

Disgusting

Why in the gods fuck sake do you have 3 physical servers when you could of virtualized that shit.

Perhaps performance is a requirement.

Let's see your setup

Blue Iris is a CPU cock gobbler and it was a free PC. Plex was a free PC except for HDD's.
The VPN/Download box is it's own since virtually it kept crashing my system racking up the CPU to 100%.

Blue Iris is a DVR and is physically secured down. Plex was virtualized until I gathered more users and needed it off my main PC.

How the hell does a VPN/download box hit 100% CPU? I've got a 1Gbps connection and rtorrent doesn't gobble that much CPU time up.

Is a Q6600 really that slow nowadays? Do you have shitloads of high-speed VPN users?

It does on mine. Blue screens after that bitch climbs to 100/101%. Being a free PC, I'm not that concerned.

Instead of using 3 low-end cpus you can get a mid-high end cpu that can handle virutalization. That and use bare metal virtualization.

Q6600 is still a beast, it just has higher wattage requirements. It's no i7 6700k, but it will does well for a server at home.

I have a Q6600 with 8Gb ddr2 (2x4) of ram and it does fine. with Ubituit controller, file/media, and NVR

Probably something wrong with your system.
