Weekly Share-Your-Build Post

This is part of a (semi-)weekly series of Share-Your-Build Post threads for everyone to share their builds, discuss different server solutions, and share knowledge and resources! Please be polite and helpful to beginners just getting started out, and we want to be as welcoming as we can to newcomers to this community.

Common info to share can include:

  • Plex server make/model
  • CPU and GPU info
  • Storage solution info
  • Plex add-on info (Radarr, Sonarr, Docker, etc.)
  • other configuration info

Anyone who posts good starter guides, FAQs, and/or wikis may get their links added to the sidebar so the rest of the community can benefit!

    My Plex server using parts from 2013

    • i7 3770s
    • H61 mobo
    • 16GB RAM
    • Rosewood HIVE PSU
    • 7TB HDD storage
    • 256GB SSD storage
    • upgraded PCie network card

    It was an old business PC that used a celeron which didn’t handle Plex streams very well but I upgraded the H61 BIOS to accept 3rd gen i7 CPUs and the 3770s does a great job even with multiple streams going at once.

    Besides Plex it’s basically my seedbox and I have F@H running on 2 cores 24/7 to make use of the fact that it’s always on. It’s such a simple machine but I love it.

    At first, I was running in a Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB model, and it ran fine but my ISP provided router is terrible and is also behind a CGNAT, so for it to work was always a pain.

    Now, I’ve picked up a VPS, it’s running:

    • 4 vCPUs of an Xeon E5-2695 v4
    • 4GBs of RAM
    • 100GB of NVMe SSD

    And the media is still in my raspberry pi, running a 4TB HDD, and is connect to the VPS via a samba share folder.
