i live in norway so kinda pricy to buy outside VAT and all that fancy stuff.. he wants 750usd for those parts. i think i would prefer Enterprise hardware for expansion options and longterm use i also want ECC. i probably have some old GPU laying around i can use and just get a 1660 or something cheap second hand... i dont mind getting some second hand stuff at all so thats not a problem.. yeah i was planning to run two m.2 as cache but maybe i can just swap em to normal SSD Do you have similar or other good options for me?.. thank you so much for this long and detail answer! @nasforthemass So do you recommend me getting those parts or should i look for newer version or other stuff?

Heey im brand new to this stuff and need some (alot) of help with figuring out what i should get.. after running jellyfin on my gaming pc for a few years now my storage is getting full.. so im looking into building my first NAS and i think unraid is what im looking for after watching and reading up on stuff... But i dont know what to do next.. what i want is -for it to last long -able to expand if needed -2.5 gbe or able to install network card for upgrade later i already ordered Jonsbo N5.. but im down to swap if that not what best for me.. my budget is 1000 USD will buy the drives seperate.. so budget only for cpu/mobo/ram etc not the hard drives.. can go a bit higher but prefer not.. planning for 8 hdd but want roam to expand to 10+ been looking into supermicro cards.. since a coworker of mine has some stuff his not using that his willing to sell but i dont know if it would be good for my use case its: Supermicro X10DRi lga 2011 v3 CPU: Xeon E5 2667 v4 × 2st. RAM: REG ECC RDIMM ddr4 8Gb × 4st. 2Rank8Bank 2400Mhz i mostly gonna use it as a media center but would like to also have roam to expand for more.. maybe run some servers to play with my friends etc and with my ADHD i have a hard time finding out what i need and want so im here for your guys guidance lol.. i live kinda remote so would love like a list aka top 5.. and i see what i can get nearby.. any help will be very appreciated.. sorry for my broken english..
