Thanks a lot, everybody. I just bought what's on my wish list. I was thinking about adding an Intel Arc A-380 low profile for transcoding in my Jellyfin server. I know it's not really the place for that, but I want to hear what you're thinking. I actually have an Intel i5-7400 with QuickSync for transcoding in 1080p. About five people max could use my Jellyfin server at the same time. Do you guys think it could be worth it to add the GPU to transcode my files in H.265 for them to take up less space and for a better overall experience? Also, my motherboard is micro-ATX with a single PCIe x16 lane used for my SATA extension. So I would have to change my motherboard. Would it be worth the time and money for my use-case?

Here's what im going with. I was unable to find a fractal desing core at a good price. For the psu I went with the A-tier the less pricey with enough power on newegg. For the case I went with one with a lot of room for drives and some preinstall fan that are directly toward the drives. My Wish List_ server _ Newegg.ca.pdf

Alright, I will change my PC case and PSU. I'm from a small village in Quebec, Canada, and I don't have a place nearby to buy a second-hand PC case. Could someone suggest a budget case that can support all my drives and is future-proof at a low cost (on Amazon or Newegg)? Also, how can I cool the drives in the case?

I don't think its the probleme... As you can see I should have enough room power wise.

in the picture I've just started the parity check but in reality... it gets hotter than that. my unraid server keeps on crashing after a while in the middle of every parity check since I've add 3 new drives to it. I'm guessing its because of the heat my drives go throught(I don't have any fans). Could i add fans on the bottom pushing air up and stick them with 3m tape or something add a little 90mm exhaust fan. More importantly, would it cool the drives? What other solution do I have for it to cost the least possible.
