Very nice build. I am looking at migrating to something similar for current and future expansion needs. One concern I have is noise with the stock fans. I would like to keep the high static pressure fans (FAN-0126L4) AND use an off the shelf low power mobo/CPU combo (14th gen i3 and appropriate mobo). How are you controlling the fans? My understanding is that in this configuration it would be best to leave the fans plugged into the fan headers on the backplane but I've also read that causes the fans to always run at 100%. The fans are rated at 0.6 amp each and I fear that might be too much for the motherboard headers. I live in a ranch style house with an unfinished basement, though the area where this server would go is enclosed in a largish room with a hollow core door. Basically I'm wondering if the fan noise is noticeable throughout a house at 100% and if not; are the fans are controllable in this configuration. I see this barebones chassis is sold through the OP's link via the vendor's actual storefront. (https://www.theserverstore.com/supermicro-4u-sas-3-barebone-server.html)
