Home Server

After several virtual machine installs & an experimental build when we were renting, I’ve finally built the home server for the house.

In practise all I did was install the Windows Home Server OS on my old desktop PC. It’s a bit of overkill for a server but it’ll do. I have to move all the internals into a smaller/old case as my current “Samurai” case is massive.

The OS install went very well with only a few bits of hardware undetected (sound/LAN/chipset stuff) but I got those off Gigabyte’s site.

I disconnected my secondary 500GB HD as there’s films on it & I didn’t want WHS to merge the drive in yet.

Unfortunately beyond this initial install, there’s little I can do as we have no network.
