    I only have this small machine on my home. Intel D2550, 4 GB Ram, and 2x320GB HDD, running openmediavault for last several month. It is my NAS (Samba, NFS, FTP), local web server, DLNA, and occasionally a game server for my family member. Best $50-ish i've ever spent.

    Need to have compressed versions. A decent 1080p I keep is about 1.6 to 2gb in size. I have a large library of stuff. It's pretty sweet, puts Netflix and amazon to shame.

    Yup @sepei you can use handbrake, it is a really great piece of free software. Or if you are too lazy to transcode it yourself...um, i like yify rip so much #justsayin'

    As for quality of course it will be not at its best. But like searching for VPS when you try to find best price performance ratio, you should find the best size quality ratio that match your preferences. Cause like all arts, music, food, etc, it all back to taste and personal choices. Nothing is too bad or too good.

    Lol. Here in Australia I have about 3Mbps down, 250gb traffic that costs $40 per month.

    Edit: 3Mbps is only on a good day, or late at night - btw...

    Edit 2: actually it's 200gb for $59.95 per month. http://www.adam.com.au/internet/broadband/naked-dsl/

    The DL380 G5 are still pretty nice I think, I like how you can put 8 drives in it..
    But I bet it's loud!!

    I'm waiting for these to go off lease.. but probably won't be a while till they're affordable.

    I had to rack one of these at work. They're crazy heavy.

  • earlearl Member

    @TheCTS

    No doubt.. even a single 1u server is heavy I can imagine you get a hernia lifting this the wrong way lol..

    Anyways guys I'm off to church, hope everyone is having a great Easter :)

    You need to use a lift for these types of servers, don't try to lift it by hand. You'll just knacker your back.
