My NAS is in an ATX mid case (Antec 900 that I've had for 15+ years) with a used xeon e3, 32 GB of RAM, and 40TB of storage in a zfs mirror. Running TrueNAS with MinIO, Postgres, and MariaDB in containers. Compute is more sleek. I have an AsRock DeskMeet with an i5 12400, GTX 1650 super, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB m.2. Running around 25 containers and not even having to work hard. The GPU handles transcodes for both Plex and Jellyfin, and most volumes are NFS shares from the NAS. This iteration of hardware has been running since early this year and it's very performant and quiet. I took out all the fans but the 200mm exhaust in the NAS and can only hear the DeskMeet when the CPU fan really kicks up.
