Building a Really Fast Server for Video Editing!

In this video I built a new NAS/VMHost box. I am very happy on how it turned out, much better than the terrible server I was running before.

>arch linux >astolfo on desk yep certified linux user

[@pixwarrior]

Your setup is just a dream. Those servers and CRT's are so amazing! Looking at this feels like being in a lego shop in a childhood. Also nice to see Astolfo's doing great!

[@raccoroni.]

the amount of storage for funni astolfo content is amazing.

[@sir_enuf]

Love your setup and personality dude, really entertaining. Such a vibe to watch keep making videos plox

[@DienerNoUta]

2:58 ok, I love your rice inspired in an old macoOS

[@ora2j251]

That old server surprisingly looks like my r710. Old intel CPU, loads of shit DDR3 ram, no redundancy on the RAID array. Fun.

[@marleyhill8462]

Thank you KZbin algorithm for showing me this channel. Immediately subbed

[@IceCreamePudding]

@1:52 based figurine

[@Gervino]

love the fuck out of this channel, glad i found my niche of ppl who like retro hardware and femboys and vaporwave, what a time to be alive

[@Darkness8536]

The crt monitor on the 360 was nostalgic.

[@ttj_]

youre probably my favourite youtuber currently. keep doing your thing man

[@DerKlemm-Crafter]

Well done! In my opinion, everybody should use such a server. And your videos are very entertaining!

[@TouhouGaijin]

Glad I found your channel, man. I feel like we would be kindred spirits.

[@Koop1337]

I'm really happy KZbin recommended me your channel as I'm really enjoying all the videos. This is a great one! In case you didn't know you can use the yellow sata ports to power a Satadom (or as supermicro likes to call them, superdoms). Just an FYI in case you didn't know. Could use them to boot an OS and save from using any of your spinning drives or separate boot disks. I personally just finished building a server using a X11DPH-T board. Supermicro hardware is pretty great, I'm personally a fan. I hope to see more videos in the future! Love that you're exploring older technology and playing games on original hardware- huge kudos to your effort in getting it all running. You should try running FreeBSD somewhere. Have fun!

[@FelixDrifts]

sickk. keep the videos rolling

[@nakoo]

sick rack man, hoping to see your phone shenanigans in the future!

[@uni2nd]

That figure is everywhere lmao

[@jfht318]

Bro's server about taxi down the runway and take off.

[@bc8350]

12:18 lol

[@JackDD]

I like how he uses an old CRT monitor to test his server. Old LCD monitors are everywhere these days. I've got two just shoved in my cupboard. I've got one on my desk, which I found on the fucking street. They are cheaper, lighter, and probably more reliable than those huge CRT monitors. That means this guy either went out of his way to hunt down an old CRT monitor, or he held onto his, while most normal people were throwing theirs out. Or maybe he found one dumped outside someone's house 15 years ago, and hauled the fucking thing home, just as I did with the aforementioned monitor on my left. Who knows? Either way, that's the monitor he reaches for when he wants to test that server. He has an LCD monitor in his data cabinet, and (I think) two more on the floor in front of it. If I could be bothered to rewatch the video, I'd probably find 10 more, _easily_. And yet he goes with the big, heavy, power hungry CRT that's probably old enough to drink by now. I don't know why he does this, but I like the dedication. This must be the coolest channel on KZbin, and this sort of thing is one of the main reasons for this.

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

The reason it didn't work with the first PSU is the whole configuration uses more than 850W. Without counting the chipset and all other controllers on the motherboard, an approximate configuration would require around 720W of power. And this server would probably run on twin 1000W PSUs for both load balancing and redundancy.

[@rokiesato]

if the server turns on with that psu, that’s even worse because that would mean the psu doesn’t have protection. the server refusing to turn on is actually a good thing and shows how good the power supply is.

[@itsnotyourfaultboy]

Just a thing that i stumbled upon in several truenas forums. You are probably using RAIDZ1 which is not really reconmended at a larger disk scale because rebuild timings are super long when a disk fails and if another one fails while rebuilding your data is lost. So if you have a decent backup its probably fine but if not i would consider adding another hdd for redundancy in RAIDZ2 atleast. Otherwise great video :)

[@amnesiai]

I've always been interested in networking and server stuff because it looks technical and cool to learn, but never built anything.

[@spccanadanovascotiahalifax93]

That thing sounds like a fighter jet taking off 💀

[@mrfluffy9273]

Got the same CPU as you (not a dual socket sadly) been pretty good I host a few personal services on it and its been solid. Need to do a ram upgrade but other than that its good.

[@unknownsoldier4156]

Always embrace the jank!

[@tedbell4416]

You should get one of those new 386sx computers

[@aaesth]

great video

[@andresbravo2003]

This is MASSIVE

[@Carrington1961]

Absolutely love the videos how do you record with a phone harness for pov and tripod, been wanting to start a channel like this for a while

[@mentalplayground]

Nice !

[@kurencee]

I had a similar set up with a 70w single Xeon on a dual supermicro board, 256G of ram, and a few hard drives just to test. After the first month i had to scrap it because it was using a STUPID amount of power when i was streaming from plex. Now i use a laptop with dual external 3.5 enclosures and i get the same speeds as before because of the 1gb bottleneck.

[@ljsaldana4739]

The Algorithm has chosen you!

[@coreymartin9630]

Bro really said, "Power consumption, never met him." But fr this build is awesome, I wish I had something half as baller

[@MingauDreemurr]

I didn't understand anything, but great video very cool

[@paullee107]

Love it. Did you tell us build cost?? I can't wait to do an upgrade like this. I'm on a Dell r330 Xeon server. :(

[@safedave9689]

having a home lab is essential for anyone who enjoys tech.

[@connarcomstock161]

Holy shit that old server is a fucking hooptie.

[@Griimnak]

good ol super micro

[@Mazendrak]

hmm. great build

[@daagelesswonder]

How much did all that cost you?? I ended up getting three servers and some rams sticks and a bunch of Xeon processors but the servers are proliant gen 8. Would I still be able to run them for storage like cloud storage or are they too old to be usable today??

[@AIC_onyt]

what is the powerdraw when in use?

[@ttj_]

what DE are you using dude? that looks sick

[@jbingbao]

what’s the power draw for your server?

[@NanamiSakora]

Ngl but this is Moore better than my own server. I have my HP ProLiant ML110 G6 and is just full of recycled HDDs too from my school but everything I got is for free so for free server with 6x SATA ports and silly Pentium inside is fine as NAS and for upgrading it one day I will just buy whole new server but I don't have money so yeah (and I am limited by 100MBit switches I own)

[@Irontrap64]

i made a server with a budget and its really complicated my specs are gtx 1050, intel corei5 2400 24gb of ddr3 btw love ur videos

[@renep702]

nice, can you make some videos about the freepbx and the cisco phones? also have some cisco phones... but never works well also with sip firmware and freepbx :-/

[@mentega_the_mega]

Wath opersting system you use in the server?

[@Hadisabetghadam]

H110ds With Amd Epyc 7554 Is Rocks

[@Pandanubex]

noob question: why do you need a gpu in a server / nas?

[@su1ka]

what is your power consumption with dual cpu?

[@nono-oz4gv]

you have every component to build the exact same spec pc that im currently using rn lol, i7-4790, 16gb, gtx 980. too bad my psu is top notch garbage, shuts off when a very specific load is applied.

[@gastonhitw720]

this mobo is a dream, I built my daily pc with it, e5-2699v3, 128gb of ram to work on some network virtualization, 1tb ssd + 1tb hdd with vmware esxi (with more than 5 vm's), dual lan, pcie x8 wifi/bluetooth card and a beautiful gtx 1080ti. I can literally do anything with this system, and much cheaper than a modern pc with modern components now my question is, WHERE DI YOU FREACKING GET THAT CASE!!!! I NEED ONE FOR MY BUILD AND I STILL CAN'T FIND ONE FOR CHEAP :((((

[@papajons_s]

6:01 sega saturn

[@dogdillon2]

11:07 i couldn't tell that from your pfp

[@theapplegamer9055]

bro what linux distro is that? I want it!!!

[@OwnedByWuigi]

What VM Software do you use?

[@nelfowz]

are you using KDE desktop environment ?

[@Lurch-Bot]

My NAS has duct tape all over it. Hey, at least all my drives are the same model.

[@tato-chip7612]

what's the name of the mac theme on your desktop?

[@Acrissmester]

QTStep Classic I think

[@jaylord55]

what case is that

[@BoydWaters]

Is that... is that °duct tape° !??

[@Ubaids_VMs]

DAWG WHAT IS UP WITH THOSE FANS

[@Vasco_555]

Lada 101 is better than any American car at its time special for it's price

[@dobtuwu]

Hearing server fans ramp up in my ear Is the best thing i have ever heard🥲

[@aedankerr1358]

Unraid is my one of choice

[@MrDingle360]

ok

[@JayB6]

i laughed cos u used torrents from sukebei XD

[@anonymous-bt6pv]

hi alstolfo

[@justinking7107]

hey

[@keremqwehd]

No way bro uses MacOS 9

[@savageaus81]

Give unraid a look.

[@PABoss]

Femboy spotted

[@savagecorn1739]

the femboy would notice the other femboy there. like a damm magnet, like things attract

[@pkxqt]

nice torrents
