    Spending 3000$ to assemble a PC and installing TrueNas as is not new nor informative to me. I'm not a huge fan of rich people spending thousand of dollars building a power hog a call it a nice NAS.

    The post would be more interesting if, at least, it would show the assembling (not stolen photos) and the software settings. For a really interesting post I would like to see a before/after benchmark of performance and power consumption.

    I don't think any server, especially self hosting should be CISC based like x86 architecture but RISC like arm or RiSC-V. The power usage is a order of magnitude less. Also really building yourself would probably cost hundreds and not thousands of dollars.
