Hey everyone! I´m a new here, brought here by a Linus video of 2 gaming rigs in 1 tower. I was really impresed by that and i would like to build a gaming/working machine like that for me and my girlfriend but i have a few questions which i can´t find an answer to them. Could you please help me with them?
Basic information about build:
2x 1080 GTX GPU
1x 500GB M.2 SSD
2x 250GB SATA SSD
2x 1TB HDD
Ryzen 1700 ( 8 Core, 16 Threads )
MB X370 Asus Crosshair VI
32 GB RAM
#1 QUESTION:
Is it possible run unRaid only when its needed otherwise run separated system on M.2 with all the resources except the SSDs & HDDs used by the unRaid systems of course?
#1 EXPLANATION:
Before all the unRaid thing I would like to have a default machine running OS on M.2 without any virtualization using both GPUs connected in SLI, all cores, 32 GB RAM. So it could be my personal rig and i would be able to use all the "power" it has.
When the time ( girlfriend ) comes I want to be able to run unRaid and virtualize the build on 2 systems when every system will be using 4 cores, 16GB RAM, one GPU, running OS from own SATA SSD + "shared mirrored" storage from the two HDDs OR own 1 HDD for game ISOs, photos etc.
#2 QUESTION:
Is it possible to run 2 VMs using the same integrated MB sound card? If not, should I use MB soundcard + USB sound card OR two USB sound card?
#2 EXPLANATION:
Just a simple question due some topics about problems with integrated sound card on the motherboards.
#3 Question:
Same as #2 question however with the integrated wifi.
#4 Question:
Is it necessary to have a third GPU for managing the unRaid? I mean, i dont plan to access the server from the "unRaid running PC", i´m quite satisfied with accessing to the server from some PC in the network by http://tower...
