I'm trying to decide which will be better a prebuilt NAS, custom built NAS, or home server. I live in an apartment so I cant do the high sound server racks so it will need to be somewhat quiet. Second consideration is I would like to be able to download things directly to the NAS/Server instead of download it on my main computer then transfer it over. Finally in the past year I have filled two 4TB harddrives so I would like something maybe 12TBs with redundancy.
I currently Have a quiet base 800 computer with a gigabyte UD3P motherboard, Intel I7 5820 and 32GB ram that I could donate to the server and upgrade my current gaming rig since its getting a little old. If any of that stuff would be good for a server project.
I also built my own computer so I would be comfortable with putting a server together and getting the software running.
Oh I would also like to get it done for less then 800 dollars including the HDD. cheaper would be better but HDD can get pricey.
