If you're looking to build a legitimate File Server why not user server components? IPMI/iDRAC/ILO is a great tool you do not have on consumer boards.

Guides & Tutorials:

PROXMOX - Rebuilding ZFS RAID rpool After Disk Failure

Mass Deploying Customized Windows 10/11 Installs

Building a GNU/Linux Based Windows Deployment Server

GNU/Linux Installer Server: Installation & Configuration

How to: Use (i)PXE to Install Windows from a Network

Why Memorize IP's When You Can Self-Host DNS Instead?

Ventoy - The USB Multi-Boot Utility!

Introduction to PXE/iPXE Network Boot Featuring FreeBSD & Ubuntu Server

 

Don't see what you need? Check the Full List or *PM me, if I haven't made it I'll add it to the list.

*NOTE: I'll only add it to the list if the request is something I know I can do.

You could save some money by using an OS other than Microsoft Windows. There are many Linux based distributions designed for use as a NAS.

You could checkout PROXMOX. It's basically FreeNAS but with a much better hypervisor for virtual machines.

 

If you're open to doing things CLI only you can do Ubuntu Server+ZFS. I have a guide on this if you're interested.

 

You could checkout Rockstor. It uses BTRFS.

 

There's CentOS. I don't have much experience with it but it's popular for multi-purpose scenarios.
