Over do ? In which way ??? It all depends what you do on it. For some uses it maybe overkill and for some woefully inadequate.

Yeah it all depends on what you want to do with the system, Im sorta setup similar if that makes you feel better.

This is stuff I got in just my main PC.

2x 12TB
1x 8TB
2x 6TB
3x 2TB NVME
1x 1TB sata SSD
1x 500gb sata SSD
plus all the crap in my sig lol

I use my PC as a Gaming/Server if you will, I no longer overclock, kinda pointless to me now a days, so my PC is on nearly 24/7, I run a Valheim, Satifactory and a Mincraft server and a Jellyfin server for some users and also a little Nas mostly for transferring files to other computers in the house or ones i'm working on, nothing mission critical, I got backs in place for that on a different machine.

I kinda like the all in one sorta thing Im doing as my PC would sit idle most of the time anyway, of course their are cons like needing to restart when someone is in the middle of watching a movie or on my servers, but I don't really need a dedicated server although it does have its upsides compared to what I'm doing now.

Nope. I don't think you've over done it in the slightest. Sounds like a perfectly normal build to me.

I have several older machines with 10 hard disks each and a few SSDs. I just kept adding hard disks when I ran out of storage. They now serve as multiple backups of important files in different places. Then there's the four multi-disk TrueNAS servers (one with 6 drives, the other three servers with 8 drives each).

I particularly like the old LIan Li V2000 cases, because you can fit twelve 3.5in hard disks in a separate compartment underneath the main area occupied by a full ATX mobo. You can add extra hard disk hot swap SAS/SATA cradles, plus a Bluray drive and a DVD drive in the front 5.25in bays. It all fits in nicely.

I have three machines with 64GB RAM, plus one HP server with 56GB ECC, the other with 40GB ECC.

My next V2000 build will house sixteen 3.5in drives, running under TrueNAS core, provided I can acquire the necessary drives (pulled from a server) for free.

For the most part I buy brand new drives, but when I'm experimenting, I'll happliy use second hand drives. After all, hard disks can fail at any time, regardless of whether they're new or old.

Keep up the good work. Hard disks rule!

That is what I'm trying to do use my pc as a gaming server for the house.
