So I just bought one of those indestructible poly tables and put the server right on that. I was going to install mine in my data closet in it's own small rack but then I told myself the first time I ever had trouble and needed to work on it I would go crazy. It is also MUCH easier to work on a server chassis that's sitting on a table.

Not the worst situation since I only use 16 drives, so I have some room to spare. Just last week one individual port doesn't light up a drive. I've had my Norcotek RPC-24 bay server chassis for about 8 years or so. DO NOT try to string along many drives using individual SATA data cables to a motherboard. I definitively recommend using a server type chassis with a backplane. Or use a high end video card in the server and send HDMI out right to tv. But to get best quality at times and atmos surround I don’t mind a second player if that’s what is needed. I would like to direct play my 1:1 rips streaming to Apple TV's as that’s my main go to streamer. Don’t know if it can run thru docker and skip windows altogether? Maybe this is not ideal and a bad idea to rip thru VM.

Not sure how to run this with unraid outside of running windows on a VM. It can run on: Windows x86 or 圆4, Mac OS X,Linux x86 or amd64. Plan to use MakeMKV for the ripping I think. Not sure if it’s best to have a windows machine to do the ripping and then have a separate NAS setup running unraid. The other for the server and optical drives). An all-in-one 4U height setup (server,optical bays,HDD bays), or two separate boxes (one for the HDD drive bays. The next on the list is finding a good rackmount chassis. So I just picked up two internal pioneer uhd drives (5.25") as the first pieces toward my movie server.
