  • Based on what you're dealing with, yeah probably. Technically it would also shut off right away if the OS wasn't loading and you were just in BIOS, but with the no display at all issue, it's almost certainly bad mobo or corrupt BIOS

  • Another thing you can do, is first turn it "on" (the power LED should be on and fans spinning). Then press and hold the power button.

    If it turns off immediately, you have not POSTed and it's probably a board/BIOS issue. If it takes a couple seconds to turn off, then you're probably in Windows and it's more likely a screen problem

  • I got a Noctua D12 cooler for my first computer eight years ago. I did a complete upgrade this year, including switching from Intel to AMD. I sent Noctua my receipt for the motherboard and the cooler itself, and the shipped me a brand new bracket for the cooler for free.

  • Portability/modularity/plus I have an Intel Arc GPU. The drivers just played nicer on Windows when it comes to transcoding (which you said wasn't an issue.) But most of my services are on separate barebones VMs because they're just easier to work with.

    I went with a "traditional" desktop because I already had a big ass Be Quiet! Dark Base 900 Pro. Also I don't trust hardware raid, and a regular desktop is infinitely more flexible.

    For instance: I threw two GPUs in there! Little one for transcoding, big one for gaming. So I can play a game while my girlfriend watches a movie in the other room. Plus I can keep shoving drives in there until I run of room. A dedicated NAS is much more limited

  • I'd say so. My buddy is into gaming, but I only have one computer. To get around anti-cheat, I tricked a Windows VM into thinking that it's running on bare metal. I pass through my GPU to it and I can play on medium quality settings just fine

  • Oh shit I may have advice. I have a setup similar to what you're shooting for! Proxmox is the absolute best thing ever. I used to just run plain Debian with some docker and random services. Now I have proxmox, and for my desktop I pass my GPU through to a VM that is my desktop.

    I've got half a dozen VMs, one of them has the arr stack hooked up to a raid 6 array (7 14 TB drives), and another VM running jellyfin (and I use Kodi to play stuff on my nvidia shield)

    First advice of the top of my head, gosuperhard and serverpartsdeals on eBay are amazing. They sell used industry drives for a fraction of the cost, just shoot for the ones that have warranties

  • Ay fellow Pittsburgh person. Surprisingly good cop experiences here too. Obviously ACAB because fuck the system in general, but twice in the last couple years there were some domestic disturbance calls around here, and the cops deescalated some VERY loud and angry situations. I think it helps that they are smaller groups who tend to live here

  • Takei was put in American internment camps as a kid during WWII just because his parents were Japanese. And he's still a *proud American. He can do and say whatever the fuck he wants
