Homelabbing was my covid hobby. 2 Years ago I splurged on a r720xd and it's been a beast of a NAS. However, I too live in an apartment with a partner that isn't keen on the sight, heat, noise, and cost of electricity it produces, so it stays off most of the time. But I have a lot of personal data I've been hoarding for years (decades?) so I'm happy to have it safe, accessible, and local, even if mostly cold.
My always-on-device is some old PC parts (i7, 32g ram) running unraid on 2 ssd's (256g in parity) and docker services. For example this where Jellyfin will run while mounting assets remotely from the 720.
Finally, I have a brocade switch and a protectli box laying around that I've been saving for a rainy day to setup opnSense and 10G networking.
