Hi all,
So I've been doing doing some research for the past few days and after going through various freeNAS forums, hardware built guides etc. I've identified below listed parts from my local IT store. Although I believe my final selection will have no issues running freeNAS 11.1 and serve as personal NAS/Cloud/media & web server (and a couple of lite dockers containers), the overall pricing has far exceeded my budget. I was wondering if anyone can review the list below and suggest any alternative parts (available in Australia) that will help bring the cost down? The ECC supported Motherboards and CPUs are insanely expensive. Should i just go with non-ECC types or is there anything "in-between" that i can look at? Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
