Mini ITX Sever/Computer

[KingAlexGaming]

Hey,

I'm looking to build a computer to use as a media centre and NAS in Mini ITX form for around $500. (not a set budget can be more or less but not too expensive)

This is what i have come up with so far:

Anyone able to help/make changes?

Thanks

 

-Edit I'll need a wifi card if anyone can add a good one, also maybe a decent graphics cards also enough room for 2 Hds or one hd and a ssd. i want around 2-4tbs of storage.

for a NAS its pretty decent but i would add something like a 1050/1050TI or even maybe a GT 1030 just because GPU acceleration helps in quite a few tasks and will be really nice to have if you want to play any light games

You say NAS but that case has basically no room for 3.5" drives ... so how is it a NAS?

First question:  How many Drive bays do you want?

 

Personally, I'd look at either

Inwin MS204 Case - 4 x 3.5" hot swap + 2 x 2.5"

Fractal Design Node 304 - up to 6 x 3.5"

You might just be better off with something like the HP microserver GEN8, I got mine for £127, with 4 HDD bays, a celeron (I upgraded to xeon), and 4GB RAM.

It's a lot cheaper than this build, and that case is very limited on HDD room.
