I have been pricing out parts that I'll list below and would love any input on my list. I know the smart/thrifty way to do things is to purchase used gear and save money, plus I don't have the rack space for an enterprise server nor do I want the noise/energy consumption of one. I am currently running an ancient Synology NAS that is vastly underpowered to do anything other be a file storage. I'm sure I'll eventually run something along the lines of Home Assistant and maybe a VM just for tinkering with but nothing super intensive. I've been doing a lot of reading and I am wanting to build myself an Unraid server for Plex Media Servier and maybe to host a couple of Minecraft servers for the wife and our nieces/nephews.
