The Big White NAS
by Lucas V Posted on: 5/20/2022
Build Description
This is my house's primary NAS PC. It was built from used parts, and the prices are what I paid for them. It provides plentiful storage for all our PC backups and files, and also contains a very large library of movies and TV shows that I can stream to my devices via Plex. It also occasionally runs a couple game servers, like Minecraft and Valheim.
Favorite Feature
The amount of HDDs I can fit in this case! I really didn't want to get a huge full-atx case just to mount all these HDDs, and this case allows the NAS to fit snugly on a shelf, and is quiet too.
