Hey,

I'm fairly new myself so can't help you that much but if you want 5 Plex users + a few jails I can guarantee you that the Intel G3260 is not going to work.

The Plex website states that you need a passmark score of 2000 a single stream at a time. The CPU you've chosen scores 3466 on their list.

Here's the link to the Intel G3260: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=Intel+Pentium+G3260+@+3.30GHz&id=2523

If you want 5 users at a time you're better of getting a E3 Xeon.

I agree with @MisterIce.
Furthermore, there is no reason to get a X10 system these days. Skylake X11 is well supported.
Get one.
Look for a Xeon E3-1230.

Thanks for feedback , is it really worth going to x11 just use new gen coy and ddr4 ram, I like x10 board for amount of data ports already on it,

Was going to get e3 cpu but notice someone else said don't need it they have same usage as me over then storage size, and trying not spend too much money or woman going give me headache haha ,

I think it's worth it to have a 64GB ram limit instead of 32GB.

The X11SSL-CF has 14 ports. You just need a breakout cable.

Start with 1 or 2 16GB sticks and you can still add a couple more later.

Thanks for board number, i do like it but getting sold in Australia 600-650 know good external site ship to Australia, cheers

Newegg.

Search on the us site, add it to your cart. Then switch to the com.au site.

 

[ghost reaper]

No luck auto changes cart to out of stock without price

 

[Stux]

Guess they fixed that loophole :(

 

[Stux]

Might be worth trying wiredzone.com but their intl shipping is more than new eggs

 

[ghost reaper]

I found this one in USA, .ca for 450 but diffrent number looks same
X11SSL-CF-O and another with b on end

-O vs -B model numbers

Many people get confused with these model numbers when they can only find an X10SL7-F-O, instead of an X10SL7-F, or an X10SLM+-F-B instead of an X10SLM+-F.
All model numbers are exactly as printed in their respective sections. For real products, they get either an -O or a -B appended to them, for retail or bulk packaging, respectively.
An example:
A Supermicro X10SL7-F-O is a retail-packaged X10SL7-F motherboard.
A Supermicro X10SL7-F-B is a bulk-packaged X10SL7-F motherboard.


What's the difference between them? With retail packaging, you get a box, with proper packaging materials. With bulk packaging, you get something along the lines of an antistatic bag, a bit of protective foam and some cardboard to wrap it all up.

Cheers for info, and all your help, will that desktop psu be ok for server??

24 drives spinning up chews a lot of juice. I think the recommendation is normally 850.

Estimate is 30W per drive + the rest of your system.

I went with a 1000W but I have an E5 system.

 

[ghost reaper]

Oh ok I based it 25w per drive but some spec has change now, cheers
