Posted December 4, 2018 So as a SydneySider from down south where used servers cost as much as a cheap car I’ve been looking for a few months to build a storage and networking server to run Plex and pi-hole and manage around 30 Ethernet connections in a rack mount case. In this thread I’ll post my progress and take suggestions or criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
