A full step by step guide to building a NAS in the Fractal Design Meshify 2 using UNRAID. This guide assumes no previous knowledge and is perfect for a first time PC builder. Links to parts used in the build are below. In the video I demonstrate the steps I took to setup the software on my own…

  1. Thank you for showing us how to use UNRAID. Would love to give it a try. Looking forward to your followup videos on this topic.
    I do have one question…at 21:38 mark, is it safe to assume I have to connect the UNRAID computer to my local network before reboot so I can get an assigned IP address? Cheers.

  2. Thank you Chris! It's awesome to see you sharing this new project with your viewers. (And it's also cool that you're putting the parts from your son's old rig to good use. 👍🏼)

    (And look out, Wendell: Chris Flannigan is getting into networking!)

  3. I've been using UNRAID for a few years and am very happy with it. My MB is a server type with a Pentium CPU and 16G RAM. The MB has an onboard USB A socket for the boot drive. I've setup a parity check on the first Saturday of the month starting at 17:00, it takes about 15 hours to complete.

  4. Going from your accent I can tell you're from Northern Ireland. I've just found your channel. I'm wondering if you have a business here building/selling pcs and also maintenance?

  5. Appreciate you are a build channel, but I think I would opt for a Synology NAS – something like a 4 or 5 bay. Probably quieter and less power consumption. Oh and love the outdo music ❤

  6. Have literally just built an Unraid server in my silent base 801 as I had just upgraded my main system into the King 95 Pro after watch your build guide and review Christopher. As for yourself lots of drive bays was the reason for that chasis choice.

  7. Just wanted to take a minute to say, the way you build computers, with the step by step and visual representation, is the easiest to follow. I watch jays two cents, Linus tech tips, gamers nexus, der bauer, Paul’s hardware………it was your videos that helped me build mine and my sons pcs. So hat off to you for being more educational than those other guys with millions of viewers. You rock!

  8. Great timing, I literally just started researching NAS to provide how shall I put it, 'yarrrrr matey TV' to family members in different parts of the country. I'm considering getting a Synology NAS and loading it with Plex. Alternatively building my own NAS with second hand parts is another idea Im toying with.
