    How many 3.5 drives can we put inside? Thinking to build 4 bays nas

    • DragonDrew on 28/08/2024 - 19:44

      They note that is has an ssd, so I assume this is the 2x 2.5" configuration (caddy). You would remove the caddy and you can install a single 3.5".

        I have managed to squeeze two 3.5 in and an nvme. Made custom rails from kids metal set to affix it inside the case.

          Got a pic? I’d love to try throw another one in my 7060

          • Motozine on 28/08/2024 - 22:24

            @Lolitsjoel: It's a production nas, so can't easily open it up to make photos, but I'll see what I can do in the upcoming weekend

  • hsc21 on 28/08/2024 - 19:40

    Will this take a low profile 1050ti?

    • DragonDrew on 28/08/2024 - 19:46
      +6

      Yes, but the power supply is only 180w so theres a good chance that you wont be able to power the GPU (75w~) along with the rest of the machine.

      • FLICKIT on 28/08/2024 - 20:07

        180w is likely to be an issue… I still run a 1050ti in an older i7 9020 without issues, but I'm fairly sure that has a 255w PSU…

    • Joshminey on 28/08/2024 - 21:58

      If you plan to use the system for tasks that push the CPU and GPU to their limits, or if you want a bit more headroom for reliability, consider upgrading to a PSU with a higher wattage if possible. If you're staying within moderate usage, it could work, but it's a bit of a gamble with the 180W PSU.

      • Chandler on 28/08/2024 - 22:53

        Existing PSU will be an OEM special. Changing to a consumer PSU will probably make it janklab material due to dimensional limitations.

    I have one of these setup with a GT1030

  • xNik on 28/08/2024 - 19:55

    Can you upgrade to win 11 or does it not meet the specs?

    • battler on 28/08/2024 - 20:08

      officially doesn't meet the specs, but rufus will overcome that

    • spiinl on 28/08/2024 - 20:36

      pretty sure you can I have a 7040 with the same proc.

  • FujinShu on 28/08/2024 - 20:18

    I wonder if you can hack the motherboard to upgrade this with a Coffee Lake CPU?

  • tonyjzx on 28/08/2024 - 20:20

    Hard drive
    one 3.5-inch hard drive or two 2.5-inch drive

    Solid State Drive
    One 2.5-inch and/or one m.2 PCIe SSD

    Optical drive
    one slim drive

    RAID
    The system does not support RAID 0 or RAID 1 capability.

    you could install 2 x 2.5 hdds or ssds for some quasi nas type experience

    This deal is still available for $70 delivered at the same seller on Kogan.

    I got it and I am extremely happy with it, the Vega 3 handles games like Tomb Raider 2013 really well.

    Valorant was about 720p/60 with tweaks. The CPU TDP is only 12W which is great.

    I'm not sure if it had TPM for Win11 or not as I'm now running Linux on it, it's a 2020 Ryzen embedded (Kestrel) CPU. Ryzen RG1505

    My unit came with 2x4GB, great WiFi chip & a USB-C display out in the optional slot.

    • krisspy on 28/08/2024 - 21:41

      Are these good enough to turn into a nas of sorts

      • Jimbuscus on 28/08/2024 - 21:49

        They are more than powerful enough, however you won't be adding any drives internally as it's a Small Form Factor PC.

  • grackfight420 on 28/08/2024 - 20:39

    Any good resources for reading up on older processor/iGPU differences? Currently have an aging laptop hooked up to an old plasma TV mainly for streaming Asian dramas, but it struggles with 1080p media, stuttering every few minutes or so depending on the website.

    Ideally I'd grab something that's capable of 4k60fps playback (or finally upgrade to a smart TV…)

    • liquornoodlescabbage on 28/08/2024 - 20:45

      Definitely worth picking up a Chromecast 4K before they're gone. Definitely one of the best bang for buck.

    • Jimbuscus on 28/08/2024 - 20:52

      You can run Plex or Jellyfin on the laptop, if you have a Chromecast Google TV HD or Fire TV Stick Lite you don't need to process the video encoding on the laptop as it will just be a simple file transfer with the dongle doing the video decoding.

      I recommend those two, as they're the cheapest reliable brands with modern codecs, which are needed for them to do the task your laptop can't do, otherwise an old dongle will still require more from the laptop.

      Otherwise any TV device you have that supports either Plex or Jellyfin will be good.

      Not a problem at all.

    • Iggemo on 28/08/2024 - 20:51

      Well above what you will need for any of that, so perfectly capable.

    • S2 on 28/08/2024 - 20:52

      Wonderful, I have an even older version performing all the tasks you've listed.
      Although I have upgraded to 16 GB of ram, rather than just 8 GB.

      • Gary Gary Gary on 28/08/2024 - 21:14

        What Ram / slots does it have? Ordered one, but will keep an eye out for cheap Ram to upgrade it.
        Want it for YouTube and Spotify set up as a music player through my amp.

          have a pile of thin clients I bought and stuff i inherited from my old job

    Would this be good to run home assistant?

    • 0 0 0 on 28/08/2024 - 21:15

      Yes
      I use a HP laptop with similar specs to run Haos via a VMware virtual machine. Don't use VirtualBox as it has shit stability issues which went away completely once swapping to VMware.

    • bargaino on 28/08/2024 - 21:19

      Yes, but overkill.
      You could either get something lower powered, or use this as a Proxmox server with many VMs, including HA.

      Ideally for HA, find a micro-PC version, even if it is a little older.

      Thanks I was initially looking at home assistant green as it was more plug and play. Found this installation vid to help with the OS setup if I go this route https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAdDtbNMYPM

    Good price.

    I bought a used Dell Optiplex 7040 two years ago.

    It is still going well. It replaced a Pentium 11 PC.

    • Guybrush57 on 28/08/2024 - 22:54

      Pentium 11? Nice!
