Build Description
This is my main media server machine, as can likely be guessed from the amount of HDDs in the case. It streams my content to any of my other devices like TVs, tablets, and phones. It also doubles as a Minecraft server sometimes, since the i5-11400 has more than enough power to do both at the same time.
Favorite Feature
The case is great. The Define R5 case provides plenty of space, and I can easily add more drives to this server in the future if I start running out of storage.
