Hello Fellow DataHoarders,

I’ve been working on a new build, and while I’ve had to some searching, I believe it will be almost complete before Christmas if I am lucky.

Parts List:
-- CPU: Ryzen 1800X (left over from upgrade)
-- MB: ASRock Tachi x370 (from ebay, spoke with seller)
-- RAM: 32GB DDR4-3600 (from ebay, same seller, even tossed in a Ryzen 1700 for free)
-- FAN: AMD Wraith Spire
-- GPU: MSI 1650 4GB PCI-E 3.0
-- HBA: LSI SAS 9300-16i
-- SSD: 1x250gb (OS/Ubuntu/Unraid/Trunas Scale) 3x2tb Samsung
-- HDD: 6x12TB Ironwolf + 8x14tb WDC H530 Ultrastar + 6x16tb WDC H550 Ulrastar (mixed batch)
-- PSU: Corsair 2021e (1000w)
-- CASE: Fractal 7 XL (Can hold up to 20 3.5"

My hope is that this will last some time before I ever have to upgrade again. This build is for family so it no doubt have a plethora of entertainment to stream from it, this will also be the third NAS I will be having running, but this will also have a lot more connected people streaming 1080/4k from it nonstop.

I also got a free cpu of it, so I could put that in my next build. Total I spent around 550$ because I had most of the parts, the drives I bought some and the family pitched in and bought some. I have my own private nas that holds 15x16tb of drives + 3 ssds for cache. I also have a networked drive that runs to another nas that is used for temp storage, (i.e. downloads, video uploads, recordings, and if I have edit for someone they can just login and upload their footage to it.

They will be excited this Christmas and it will probably be full by Feburary.
