I tried to build a new server a while ago but gave up as I couldn't seem to find the right thing. So I installed TrueNAS on my old HP N54L microserver with 5 4TB drives. That has been a good stop gap but now I am running out of space.
There used to be loads of great tower cases from Lian Li and Caselabs. Now every thing seems to be for gamers or rack mount. Neither is of interest to me. There also used to be loads of hot swap/backplane caddies that installed in 5.25" bays. Now there seem to few of those around and those that exist seem to get bad reviews.
The goal is to have a tower with at least 8 drives of larger size. I love TrueNAS and would love to stick with it but I also want to run a Satellite TV card (with TVheadend?) and Jellyfin.
Any suggestions?
