Building A Home Server FOR CHEAP

Here is my method of upgrading my homelab server and increasing the storage to a raw 56TB! I tried to save money but still can't sacrifice performance.

I like this video and the value of the old parts is amazing.

This got into my feed after watching someone's video about building a Nas and this is pretty good ngl.

Good video, doing something similar myself for plex, big box and steam access in the lounge room. Went for the fractal define 7xl case for the build.

Got an idea on the remaining parts but waiting for new stuff to drop and prices to adjust a little.

Hey man, great video, just have one question, What OS did you install on your server? I'm thinking to make my own server but I'm stuck on that point, cause I'd like to go with something allows me to put my Files(NAS), maybe start up a Minecraft server, Plex, some Docker apps, all that in the easiest way possible, maybe one simple w10 installation would be ok, or maybe more specific with linux, like Ubuntu or something lite, like FreeNas. It would be cool if you could you help me. Thanks.

looks like a very nice upgrade, and love that Fractal case! Already have an old school Dell T3600 I got for cheap for a TrueNAS core NAS/light VM box, but looking to do something similar for a low power dedicated VM build using ProxMox or ESXi

What are you doing with your "old" stuff? You could donate it to me, i'm a poor guy, that are trying to get som new'er stuff. I only got a AMD 3, lab. Trying to get my old stuf renewed. I got som HD external USB's 2 TB (at least 6 years old but works) to SSD drives. I got my files on them (got about 10 of the old). Please write me, if you got something. 😀
