I just think no one’s really coming at it in a way they think it’s rude, and most had been out of concern, just worded rough. I definitely can be rough with my words sometime so I can’t be too mad. Also thanks for engaging ❤️ love you and all the lurkers following along

To be honest, I have more media then I’ll ever need, and after rencoding everything it shouldn’t use even half the space. The a310 is the real goat here for saving space

I’m choosing to focus on the positive comments, and giving info to those who doubt. In the end I know there’s a few people at least who saw this and got some inspiration for a fun project

You gotta do push pull. There’s another fan on the bottom of the cabinet pulling in fresh, while all the hot air is directed up and out. Tennis are more stable then my gaming rig sitting 5 feet away in the open air.

Thankfully all either used, or bought before the Ai drive prices

Oh, and if anyone is curious on specs. This is my old gaming rig but it’s: I9 11900k Z590I Vision D ITX mobo 64gb memory The 16x lane is bifurcated to run: Intel a310 & Lsi 9305 16e into a hp dl380

I’m currently running truenas on it. Simple and free

That’s it! Though when I was first seting up my new place 😊 it’s on my comment history so I don’t think that’s snooping

Theres currently 110 tb of usable space. Got a bunch of 14tb drives when you could shuck them for 150 each

Not if there were a second fan hiding in there 😉

Wifi is just there as a backup. Everything is hardwired

The sound proofing helps a ton. This sits in my living room and I can barely hear it. There’s also a second fan hiding on the bottom for intake, while the top is just exhaust. Keeps temps nice and cool

There are actuality two fans. There’s an intake on the bottom full cold air, and the top is exhaust. I posted temps if you wanna see how it is at full tilt

Added them in another comment, but I’ll put them here to. This is while I have plex and frigate running with tdarr rencoding 8 files into av1 at a time

There’s actually two fans built into the cabinet! Pulls more fresh air then if it were outside of it. 😎❄️

Thanks! For plex and frigate it’s been awesome. Also running tdarr to rencode everything to Av1 at 8mbs or less

For those worried about temps. The cpu never goes past the 80s when being ran hard, and drive temps are comfortably in the 40s

There are two fans built into the cabinet. Temps stay nice and cool
