      He could also do more videos on cheap phones. The five that he has already done (LG Optimus L3, Samsung Galaxy Ace, Samsung Galaxy Mini 2, Nexus 4 and Samsung Galaxy S2) have been really good and successful (although they're starting to feel dated now) and it would be great to see more phones of those sort of prices from a 2021 (or 2022) standpoint.

    Not sure it's a "good" thing that we are all having to be a bit more creative given the parts shortage/inflated prices but maybe this all means that we can make the tech we have go further for longer, and keep it out of landfill. Great video and love the choice of case!

    I recommend using a lighter version of Windows Server without the Explorer, called "Server Core" for this purpose. It will save RAM and CPU usage.
    For administration of either Server Core or Desktop Experience installations just use "Windows admin center", which is the Windows equivalent of "cockpit" in Linux.

    I also got a P8H61I RM/SI board for a cheap HTPC build. Can confirm the BIOS chip is removable and you can use a CH341A USB programmer to manually flash the latest ASUS BIOS over the RM branded version. Works just fine, you just need to use a tool like uefiextract to get the raw UEFI image from the ASUS BIOS file.

Put in about 300 dollars worth of spare watercooling equipment, which explains why the 980 waterblocked(Ti is about 1.5-2x the price) is still pretty much the same as before the scalpocalypse.

    This video is a really good object lesson for what can be achieved with older 'obsolete' hardware. Matching the task to the hardware is the key. Your server is over kill compared to mine but I don't need a high speed file server as I only back up over night once a month and the relatively low power draw of the down clocked CPU and moderate spin down times of the drives result is a 45W draw which costs a few pennies a day. FWIW the POH of one drive is currently over 72,000. I am unconcerned as the data is quite redundant, even if not RAID.YMMV.

    I have avery similar setup for my cheap 24TB nas with the node 304 case and that same ASUS RM Bios motherboard, I did face the exact same issue as I was trying to install a Xeon which was supported by the original firmware but not by the RM version I was using, however I found on eBay that people will sell replacement socket ICs that contain the bios, so I bought one of those that I asked the seller to flash with the original Asus firmware and then swapped it and it worked to my suprise. It was very easy to swap since it is socketed and I was surprised that at the time nobody online appeared to figure this issue out. It did cost me £9 for the new IC, flashing + delivery but I already had the motherboard and cpu at this point so it was worth the risk. If you are experienced with IC flashing and have a flasher I believe you could flash it yourself manually with the Asus Rom over the original RM Rom. I also had a similar looking Chinese sata card which kept causing issues and ZFS errors, (I think there was an issue with the controller and using 5 drives at high bandwidth) but I replaced it with an eBay IBM LSI M1015 that I flashed the IT mode firmware onto and since then there have been no issues whatsoever, highly recommend this for a Sata card solution.

    I used to have a dual socket LGA 1366 with Xeon 5677 in each socket and I decided that's way more power than I'll ever need for any of my server applications now, so I repurpose my old htpc which had a i5 2400 in it, and it does everything I need to do just as good as the big system did, while sipping power in comparison. The electric bill certainly appreciates 40 watts compared to a constant 210 watts. And I can still play my personal Minecraft server on it just fine while simultaneously streaming a Plex video.

    Good video. I think unless you get a great deal that used parts are generally overpriced. If I was doing a budget build then I would look at new Intel 10th gen parts, they are on clearance sale right now and they won't last long at those prices. You can get a new 10400f, motherboard & 16gb of 3000 ddr4 for under $350 U.S, closer to $300 if you go with the i3 10100 (better performance than stock i7 4790) and need an igpu. Faster and more modern features like NVMe stoarge, Gigabit lan,etc. I've read that Intel 11th gen will soon be hard to get because of cpu shortages.

    Here in Australia Trying to find a LGA1155 Motherboard to go with a cheap i5 is getting hard, especially with PCIe Gen3 & USB3 so prices are getting stoopid like GPUs, while LGA1150 & newer are getting Cheaper but the CPUs are Stoopid expensive as you can buy an i3-10100 cheaper than many i5 & i7 4000-7000,
    The Fractal Node is a great ITX for a Mini-Server, as it has all that Storage room plus 3 totally open sides to make it quite easy to build in if you start at the bottom & work your way up,
    also paying a a little extra for this case that fits a ATX PSU is much better than the huge price hike for SFX PSU at the moment in cheaper ITX cases that need them

    I'm interested on trying out Windows server 2019. How would that handle on a day to day usage?

      ruclips.net/video/ozYxEA7BLlU/видео.html - This is a video comparing the two. It basically shows that Windows 10 is better than Server 2019 for normal usage.
