I did not like the Jonsbo N4. The HDD temps were bad. The case amplified HDD noise and was a pain to build in. I used a Silverstone SFX power supply. I had two of those PSUs fail in less than a year.
After the second expensive SFX PSU failed, I decided I did not want to buy another. I changed cases to the Fractal Design Node 804 and bought an inexpensive ATX PSU. I have been much happier with my build after those changes. My HDD temps dropped by about 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The case is much quieter and I was impressed by the quality.
Minisforum gets a ton a hype. Nothing they make gets slept on.
You said it's trash because of performance. That's not the whole story, it's trash because the CIX chip causes a list of goofy issues that the engineers never solved. This includes power issues but also other things that will pop up and make things much harder than they should be. It's cheap because they're getting rid of their year-old stock that predates most of the RAM price increases.
If don't think you will be able to get it run everything you have in mind. I don't think it will be near 12W either.
A lot of the SBCs or n150 pcs have limited RAM upgradeability.
You might look at the old HPE Proliant Microservers, like gen8 - gen 10. You can get them with 16GB ram included for $300. They're low power and they use the cheaper ddr4 ram.
I am waiting to see how it shakes out with them. If it is still around in 2 months and they manage to push a good 3.0 version, I will switch. The original creator was responsible for most of the code. I am waiting to see if the Grimmory team can deliver.
The bot commented when the thread was young. HTTP, HTTPS and SSL were nowhere in the thread. I used ctl+F to make sure HTTP was nowhere in the thread before commenting. Later someone mentioned Git and the bot added Git. Even later, I added the announcement and link.
Even it had found links, finding a link and defining HTTPS, HTTP, and SSL is not helpful.
I don't blame the greater community for this one. Booklore was well-received. I have nothing but good wishes for all those involved. Much of the fighting about code quality and AI was among actual contributors.
The whole point of the arrs is to download things in advance. Many users set up Import Lists.. There are also apps like Boxarr.
Netflix's model is to provide the cheapest, low-quality media you can bear to watch. The kind of browsing you are describing is your distressed search to find something watchable. If you populate a server with good TV or at least TV that interests you, you won't want to hop between media like that.
It's for movies and tv to "find and fetch missing or upgradable media." Huntarr was the go-to app but it had security concerns and the maker's responses were negatively received. In the last couple of weeks, some people have presented AI slop replacements for Huntarr.
Paying taxes for something doesn't mean you own it. Even if it did, I doubt the businesses fighting housing today are the same ones that paid the taxes 45-70 years ago.
Setting up an SMB or NFS share is the correct answer because op has stated he plans to use VMs (plural). ZFS is not sharable without it. https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage
I made a very similar build almost 2 years ago.

The $500,000 10U AI server or is there another one?
That doesn't seem right... I think you can use their "Container Station" to make an LXD or Docker container with whatever you want. You may have to enable "advanced mode." https://www.qnap.com/en-us/how-to/tutorial/article/how-to-use-container-station-3

Bad Bot. None of these terms are in this thread.

Cool Russian propaganda bro.
Decades-old sanctions don't need reporting. We all know
Killing thousands of protestors is not on the same level as refusing to let them buy airplane parts.
As others have said, 1 GB RAM isn't enough. It also isn't a good deal. You can get old NUCs for $30-40 with 8 GB.
It is a 45 Drives Stornado F1. A similar used chassis would be a Dell R730xd
I would set up a media server in the old case that fits your drives but set up the game servers on the lenovo.
Plex is fine for people that already have it set up but since you're starting from scratch why not start with the free one?
Have you already bought a HexOS license? You can do more with Proxmox or TrueNAS for free.

There are forum posts going back years about it :https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/share-zfs-storage-between-nodes.144790/ https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/create-a-large-pool-of-shared-zfs-storage.94435/
TrueNAS is not absolutely required. It can be done with a different Linux distro. I use/prefer Debian.
