I've putting together a basic build for a system that will be used as a home server. This will be a multipurpose device for data storage, hosting VMs, serving media, etc. I want some good power so I can use this system to run many services if necessary. I'm moving from a Synology now, and want to use Debian on this new system.
I put together the following build quickly, but I'm looking for advice on where I can improve. I'm sure there are opportunities. I already have hard drives and monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc.
