I think this is quite a poor answer. I've setup something like this before for a temporary amount of time, i've also got 2 unraid servers for different purposes. However I'm trying to investigate the benefits of it if any...

Me and my partner are going to be upgrading next year and I wanted to know just how practical is the 1 CPU 2 Gamers approach? Are there any pro's/con's? Any help or generic guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not entirely sure where to submit an idea to LTT but one comment that's made quite a lot is the "you cant go cooler than ambient." However there is a something called a peltier element cooler that from my limited understanding, through some witchcraft, they get cooler/hotter (depending on the polarity) which are usually attached to a heatsink of some form. With a cool box, they draw air through the fins on the heatsink that are being cooled by the peltier element and thus, cools the coolbox down by 5 to 9 celsius below ambient. What i would be interested in seeing is if there is a way for LTT to incorporate some form of these peltier elements where cold air passes the heatsink they attach to which cools where the heatsink or radiator would be drawing air from this cooler air and thus, getting lower than ambient. I would suspect this may be possible in a large case with a bottom chamber. I'm not sure but would be interesting to see if it would be possible to achieve lower than ambient result.

Crime rate in their area is extremely low, but it's just a precaution and have thankfully only had a powercut once in 4 years so a UPS would not be that major. I would prefer to keep torrenting within my NAS and not theirs but would like the ability to mirror a folder from my NAS to theirs. High speed isnt an issue either for them, I did consider the WD Purple and still do. Just trying to sort out the ability to mirror a folder from my NAS to their NAS but allowing my NAS to torrent and theirs to record CCTV

I will ensure this is taken into consideration. As said, hoping to get some guidance first! But thank you for your reply, i do majorly appreciate it

They have not yet been selected. This is all trying to plan ahead to weigh up his options, my parents arnt very computer literate so im doing this all for them but my knowledge of NASes is near non existent Something like this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Synology-DS216PLAY-Bay-Desktop-Enclosure/dp/B015JQAWW0/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1478386857&sr=1-3&keywords=synology+2+bay I was unable to find a 2bay ds416

Hi all, First post and hoping you can help me out with my current situation. I'm looking for some suggestions of what to get, please note they need to be available in the UK. Im looking to get a NAS for myself firstly to be able to use uTorrent or bittorrent, it will be for 1080p or higher resolution movies (4k). 2 bays (or more though not priority) is what im looking for enclosure only. Im also looking for a NAS for my parents that i can setup to copy files from a folder that i would have in my own home. They may also be using it for recording CCTV from two cameras in 720 or 1080p 30fps on a 1 week loop. Any suggestions would be great I am looking not to burst the bank with regards to budget. Thanks! - Ryan
