Howdy, looking to upgrade but I need to learn how to learn

[kccustom]

Hello, I have been using my hand me down systems to run my plex and stuff for years but I have recently discovered this forum and unraid and I am a little overwhelmed.

What I want to do is get a server going that will do everything it I am doing now but also be a nas and run some docker containers.

I have a case but I am stuck on a mother board, I would like to limit my self to a $200 budget or less for that.

My problem is looking at the SNAFU 2.0 guide there are so many boards I am a little lost I have a couple I think might work but I don’t know the questions to ask to be sure.

Welcome, sounds like you’re a great candidate for Unraid.

Have you looked at this guide? Seems like this would be more in your budget.

[Guide] NAS Killer 4.1 supplemental + deals

Hey everyone, found some really good deals on ebay and thought I would throw something together for ya’ll. This guide will outline the deals that I found. For the rest of the parts and information, please refer to the main build guide. MAKE SURE TO USE THE “BEST OFFER” FEATURE BEFORE PURCHASING

Looking at that guide it seems I can just switch my windows 7 box over to unraid and just be happy with that for a while while I learn about server mother boards. Thanks you probably just save me from buying twice.
