I have an old mid tower coolermaster CM 690 III advanced case with 7 3.5" bays and could easily fit another if desired but I was thinking of just getting 4 ironwolf drives in raid.
I also have an i7 6700k cpu and z170 pro gaming aura motherboard sitting in a cupboard that I could repurpose for it and a 550w non-modular power supply (but may actually get a new one for it).
Should I build a NAS out of this or just get a typical NAS?
What would be the best OS to install onto it for that purpose?
Would it use up a lot more power than a typical NAS would? I would try to keep it as low power as possible. Don't need a graphics card as it has an integrated one in the cpu.
Otherwise I will try to sell of the old parts but doubt they will sell or for much.
Thanks!
