I have a 750ti/Q6600 box, is there any point in beefing up the storage in there and making it into a NAS? I'm currently using it for guests to play games when they come over.

The Q6600 is a 2.66GHz Quad Core right?
I would say yes, run what ever programs you want to share files and use VMWare (or your preferred similar) to run a VM running an OS of your choice in exclusive mode for guests to play games.

Running Windows 7, sharing multiple folders over the network. Was going to add a dedicated Linux x86 machine and rpi3 to the network for messing with ssh, dedicated backup server for my phone and tablet, etc. Thanks for making me feel even more like a pleb. Also it seems like a lot of people with top end servers like that run Windows server OS and not Linux. Any particular reason? Could have sworn Sup Forums totes Linux as the end all be all for servers. Personally I love the out of box experience of Windows remote desktop. Linux doesn't have anything even close.
Lastly, would you recommend getting those new 8/10TB drives? The helium ones? I mean they're like $500 a peice, but still.

Oh hai guise. I think, you might help me out.
I'm planning on building my own switch/router+firewall+torrentbox/nas on a Mini-ITX board with one of those soldered-down 10-watt pentium-celerons, will add a 4-port chinese lan card and maybe a mPCIe wlan card for wireless.
Any ideas on how will this run all these torrents, firewalls and a vpn client all together?
What operating system should I choose?
Currently backing up all my files since btrfs cucked me. and it's a goddamned shame since btrfs raid6 was pretty much exactly what I wanted.
now I get to use ZFS and it's damned immutable vdevs
>running wangblows
You've never worked in the real world, have you?
>not clear what the fuck it's actually all doing
It's fucking spelled out...
>all those drives and not ZFS
Because it's running Storage Spaces. ZFS is was only enterprise ready on Solaris. And Solaris is owned by Oracle.
I deal with this on a daily basis. If I didn't, I'd be running something in a Node 304 with Open Media Vault.
>>not clear what the fuck it's actually all doing

You wrote what software each is running.
But what is the end purpose of all of it? What user-facing service is provided by all of it?
Nice repeating digits
Currently running:
Primary and Standby DNS with network level adblocking,
A custom home automation setup,

a Tor gateway,
Two VPNs (one to provide remote network access, the other to provide remote access to Tor),
An SSH gateway,
and a centralised git server for my personal projects

any ideas for features i can add to the servers? c:

Lurk for itx boards with 10 or more sata connectors.
Should do fine, those tasks aren't very CPU intensive.
Any general purpose linux distro would work, I like debian.
Will it work as VPN client for full 100Mbits for example?
Pic related.
But I'm searching for a new server which low electricity input and 24/7 running. It shouldn't be cost more than 450€. I want to run an CentOS with different VM's for OpenVPN, RADIUS, DNS, Icinga2, ...

Hey OP I use a GSA! I keep it in the garage and it does fine on 95 degree days (just as hot in the garage) and on -10 degree days (rarely below 45 in garage). It runs Proxmox and a few VMs. The main one is my media server running:

I also have a Supermicro Atom D525 box running pfsense. Are you running pfsense in a VM on that same box? Mine has 10 nics so I could do that. For whatever reason pfsense seems to use a lot of KVM CPU even when idle so it brings the wattage on the GSA up about 50 watts, where as my Supermicro box only uses about 30 watts.
Are you fucking kidding me? I spend hours to set the list up from other hundreds list on the WWW and compile it in the right format.

What OS do you guys run on your servers? I used Debian for a few years, but switched to Arch when we last replaced some of our home servers. It's been pleasant having an experience closer to what I get on my desktop now.
I've been hearing good things about GuixSD and NixOS lately, so I might try them in a VM to see if they're any good for my needs.
For non Windows stuff I use Open Media Vault, and working on CentOS as a load balancer.
But really, if it does what you want it to do, that's really all that matters.
That doesn't do things like uncripple FP64 or install ECC RAM.
That's a good deal, user.
I use CentOS for production and Ubuntu for shit I need up quickly.
It's worth it
I've got a proliant dl360g5 with dual e5450s and 8gb ram, I've got windows 7 pro on it at the moment while I just fuck around with it in my room. I plan on moving it into the atic soon and putting windows server 2012r2 on it.
I plan to use it for game servers like minecraft, a vpn and a file/streaming server.
are there any good windows applications for streaming movies and file server applications?
I think we tried Open Media Vault at one point and had issues. Same with Proxmox. That's actually how we settled on plain old Debian.
I just rsync a bunch of my media-related folders from my desktop to our file server periodically. For watching stuff from the file server on a laptop, I just use sshfs to mount the folder with anime and such. Used to use nfs and the regular mount command, but I've found sshfs works a bit better.
Haven't yet worked out a way to comfortably torrent right on the servers. I like to rename my files in my bittorrent client, so rtorrent might not work that well. I currently use transmission on my desktop and just copy over files as a backup and to make them accessible to others.
I want a webserver that I can access from anywhere. All I want to do is store movies and stuff on it. Do I really need to build a rig? Or can I just use a raspberry pi and hook up some hard drives? I'm not looking to stream from the server, just download.
Something like this is fine if you're not looking for a lot of cpu power. Quad core embedded low power Intel chip.

firstly, what a waste. secondly, see below. thirdly, ditch windows.
bring up a vm and install the following. these all work headless and have a web interface so they're ideal for running on a server. they're also all in aur so it's a really easy install on arch. don't fall for the "arch is unstable" meme, it's bullshit.

I've been using Debian. It's stable, and I'm used to it.
One of my biggest issues with debian was that termite wasn't in the repos, and computers without termite installed don't recognize it for some reason, so if you ssh in from termite it fucks up. Had to keep doing export TERM=xterm before connecting.
I've read about securing your server on the wiki, and the wikipedia article on DMZs.
A few newbie questions here:
1- Any reason to care about what domain registrar I use?
2- Is GoDaddy's optional privacy-service to hide my personal info just a DMZ? It doubles the yearly costs in my case.
2.5- As I've understood it I can setup a DMZ for free without much hassle, so this is a shitty deal right?
1 - No, not really. Some suck especially bad. GoDaddy isn't the best, but far from the worst.
2 - Privacy guard hides your information in a whois query. I have it on a couple of my testing domains
2.5 - DMZ's can complicate setups. If you have a torrent box in a DMZ, and have an open file share to your internal network, you might as well just put the torrent box behind the firewall. As for domain privacy, see answer #2 above.
did you set the list on it just to block ads or am i missing something?
Don't think that's a 980, don't those have E7-4xxx CPUs for tri QPI links?
I have an Atom D525 running Arch with my patented NAED (nonredundant array of expensive disks).
I use it to download and serve media. I've been meaning to set up network UPS tools and use it to tell other devices on my network when to shut down.
I'd also like to upgrade it to a beefier chip when something good with a
ark.intel.com
The only way it's possible to get 80 cores from an E7-2870 is 8 sockets.
First time linux servering, how badly did i do? I'm going to try to figure out how to remote compile shit on this from visual studio
The graphics card is for OpenCL calculations btw
Hm, I thought Ex-2xxx could only scale to 2 sockets.
