Got my new FreeBSD machine built (sort of), woo hoo!
Right now I am just using it to rebuild some data on some disks I have. Then I will migrate my existing personal home server disks to it, for the next little while. After that I will be looking to tinker with virtualization, video stuff (recording, transcoding, etc). So far so good. I have never assembled a machine until now. All was pretty easy but getting the heatsink screws to screw into the motherboard backing plate was brutal. Why couldn't they give me just another couple millimeters of screw to work with.
I'm really not sure what to do with the virtualization. Vmware, virtualbox, or bhyve. I will be doing lots of reading this winter, and will likely ping you folks then. Will likely add another 16GB ram stick then. In the meantime thanks a ton for all your help so far. Fishing season will wrap up end of October so I look forward to chatting with you more.
