Hardware

Read the Community Hardware Guide to pick my components this time. Cheap shit causes headaches and I expect this build to last me a while.

Configuration

• SuperMicro X11SSM-F-O Micro-ATX
• Intel Xeon E3-1230 V6 Kaby Lake
• Seasonic FOCUS Plus Series SSR-850PX 850W 80+ Platinum
  crucial
• Crucial 16GB ECC Unbuffered memory (CT7982341)
• 5 x Western Digital 4TB Red NAS Drives
• NZXT Source 210
• Rosewill RFT-120 fan filters. Used nylon 8-32 × ½ Phillips flat-head screws to install them.
• An old Intel 80GB SSD Drive

Ran smartctl short, conveyance, and long test with an ArchLinux ISO. Two more resources on drive testing. Ran about 10 rounds of memtest86 on the memory.

Software

• FreeNAS 11
• Followed this guide to install PiHole
• Tautulli and Plex in separate Jails.
• Time Machine for my Mac
