Hi there!

Hello there, I was looking forward to try FreeNas on my HTPC ( i had windows 8 on it). I'm really loving the experience even if it's something totally new for me. Having issues but also small achievement getting stuff to work properly. A big thanks to everyone who posted solution even to the "easiest" problems. i'll do my best to do my part in the forums :)

Hello and welcome! Just keep in mind motherboards with audio and sometimes funky SATA controllers dont play nicely with FreeNAS, but we're always around to help out where we can, and if we can.

Thanks for the warm welcome! Right now i'm using some components i already had:

Gigabyte h97n-wifi
i3-4130t
2x8 GB hyperX fury
3x3 WD Red 3TB (Raidz1)
BeQuiet 350 W

Everything seems to work smoothly and the encoding to both my Smart TVs is doing great :)

That's good to hear, just be sure to keep some good backups of anything you care about on the rig youre running FreeNAS on, as without the proper hardware you could experience an error and corrupt/loose yoru data, i'd hate to see that happen.
