I want to build a fat unraid server for photo storage, NAS, probably a few large docker containers (I want to mess with self-hosting one or multiple smallish LLMs, probably have a plex server, and get started with *arr)

BUT

I don't want to spend a huge amount of time or effort figuring out the hardware stuff, I'm not good at hardware, and honestly don't want to spend much time learning it right now and was hoping y'all could help me out.

I was going to just grab a decent looking build from PCPartPicker like such:

and go with it but I figured maybe someone here will take pity on me and help me out. Please?
