$400 to plug your disks into a network?
That seems steep when you've already got "servers" on your network.

The "servers" don't have any more physical space in them.
Plex/Ryzen - full, has an 8 bay USB drive cage attached to it. Filled with 8tb desktop and 5tb laptop drives.
Synology DS1812+ 8 bay NAS with two 5 bay expanders - filled with 3tb drives.
Synology DS114 filled with its single 6tb drive.

I have two of them lying around and an HBA for them too. I could put them into the gaming rig, but the PSU isn't big enough.
Anyhoo. Canceled the new Synology order. Double checked the drives in the Ryzen box and there are two more WD NAS drives in it I could potentially yank.
That would put me at 6 8tb drives total. So I'm reconsidering.

I fab shitboxes and shitbox accessories.
Well, provided it isnt niche stuff. That's hard to find in the heat of the moment

Dug up an old AMD 5550 single slot video card for the Ryzen server.
This freed up a slot for a trusty Intel Pro/1000 PT nic.
All is well.

Works fine in my house, but I've got one TV, at 1080p, and it runs off the integrated graphics on my i3 2120T.
No need for fancy-schmancy vidja cards to do HTPC stuff, unless you've got the overhead of windows behind it, I guess. Edit: or maybe if you need to stream your shit to 73 TVs, 4 of which are in a bathroom

All this thing does is Plex and Emby for when the Plex client has a developer induced tantrum due to lack of testing.
I've been looking to upgrade again and decided to look into watercooling, like I always do.
As is tradition, I realized it's both horribly expensive and terribly complicated and I will probably not pursue it.

these days its a lot more feasible to just go with one of the integrated closed loop solutions. Ive thought about tossing a deepcool or something similar on my cpu, with the primary reason being that i can use a shorter case due not not having a skyscraper of a heatsink
