Hi there,
Due to some previous discussions/advice on previous threads, I have decided to build myself a new server.
At the moment, I have a Odroid HC2, running TVheadend and an SQL server for my Kodi boxes.
I also have a separate RPi, running Home Assistant.
I really, now, want to start having a go with some other services like PI Hole.
I was thinking of buying another Pi for this but it suddenly occurred to me that a single server is probably the way to go.
I do not think that the HC2 will handle all of this, plus it would be be nice to have the space for at least two other hard drives.
I really would like to stick with something that is as quite as possible and also uses as little electricity as possible (as it will be left on all the time).
What are my options?
An x86 option is going to be a little easier to add multiple hard drives to, but how is that going to compare with ARM as far as noise and power consumption go?
At the moment, I am considering something like this:
with a single 8GB RAM module and powered with a Pico PSU.
Is this a sensible thing to do?
