Building a QUIET(ish) HOME SERVER for the living room with Hyper-V / Windows
Building a QUIET(ish) home server for the living room with Hyper-V / Windows 10. Mistakes were made. Like spending forever installing a fan, only to find out that it’s too loud…

fsp is a great choice , that psu will still run for another 10 years
Yellow Sata Is 6GBs Sata Port(Sata 3) And Blacks Are 3Gbs Sata(Sata 2)
I Think Is H81i-Plus
You Should Get Enterprise SSD
Consumer SSD Are Not Rate To Run 24/7
You don't see Mini ITX boards anymore. My home built PC probably had one.
SATA is hot swappable, you can change them without powering down 🙂
Nice build. I've messed with Proxmox more than Hyper V, but could never get my head around it. You could use Norton Ghost to clone a bare instal of say XP then restore an image to a new build saving you installation time.
