Hi guys,
So im looking to build my first server, idealy to be used as a NAS, possibly transcoder, game server, Steam Backup, Photo sync, etc.
I plan on using unraid, and have partially worked out (and purchased) a build, but wanted some advice on final touches. Specifically im not sure around how much gap i need in a PSU, ie if system says it uses 515Watts is 650W PSU ok? etc.
As far as a case goes originally wanted something fancy but then decided that since its not a flashy RGB build or anything a case with lots of airflow and room for CPU coolers (which i also dont know what to go with) is probably a better idea. This would need to be a desktop style case and not a server case.
Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.
