My Windows 10 desktop is getting long in the tooth. I for sure want a home server and a new desktop. I'm debating whether to do it all in one box, build two separate boxes, or build a new desktop and reuse my current one for a server. Unraid seems like the best option either way I go. Thanks in advance for reading and your feedback:
