I don't think it's that far-fetched. Plus, it's amazon. You can return it if you're not happy with it

Yes I do AI stuff on my main pc. But you're right, I may opt to get a better psu in case I want to offload my ai stuff to the server instead. Good point, thank you for bringing it to my attention Interesting, how do you connect your drives to the pi? You use an external hdd enclosure?

From what i've seen, you only need a gpu if you plan to passthrough it to a VM for gaming, which i dont plan on doing.

Yes i have an m2 lying around, i just need to figure out how to set all that up. i'm still kind of lost on how to start it, but that will come after i get all the parts xD. i'll worry about it then.

Finding parts, at affordable prices, is a bit of a pain

Hi everyone, this is my first time trying to make a build for a home server/NAS, can you please rate and fix wherever possible as I am sure I've probably made a mistake somewhere.

Any help would be appreciated.

Note: all prices are in CAD

some notes regarding my build

1-I went with 12th gen 12600 for the IGP 770 as I've heard It's got quite a big jump from its predecessor when it comes to streaming and transcoding, especially multiple 4k files at the same time (please correct me if I am wrong)

2-I went for this case for the amount of HDDs it can handle

3-Cheapest not crap PSU I could find

4- ram were the same price as the non RGB variants, so why not

5-I don't think I need a better CPU cooler

Also note that I will be using this server mainly as a media server (Plex/Jellyfin) and a file/data server. I will be testing some VM use cases and possibly other things as I delve more into this and discover what more I can do with it.
