I searched far and wide for the perfect chassis. Silverstone make some awesome stuff.

Yeah, the quality is really good. It's also not cheap. I bought this case mostly because it's rather shallow and did fit into my previous server rack.

I'm now at a point where I should buy another drive cage but I'm a bit hesitant to spend 150€ for it. Well...

Edit: Any reason you decided to go with a non-server mainboard without IPMI and ECC support?

My thoughts exactly! I recon that I’ll probably keep the case the longest of all, out of all those a hardware.

I choose to believe it's 2003 and everyone envies how much storage I have.

My trick is setting a monthly saving for this a few years ago. Today me thanks past me.

Also, I started out with 2x 4TB in raid 1 in my previous server. Or really just an unused desktop with a 1TB disk before that.

It’s why I went with TrueNAS. It has built in support for VMs and containers in K3s. So far it’s been super nice. A lot to read up on, but you seem to have the same background as me so it should be fine. I find it fun!

I haven’t dared summed it up yet. It’s been purchased over a stretch of time. Guesstimating to around €3000.

Ouch indeed! I'm sure you want to run powerful applications to justify the costs :-)

Damn, Red Plus really are the best, so quiet.

I really wished they made them 20+TB (I switched to Exos X20 and was pleasantly surprised with the noise profile ... tho my expectations were preset to low).
