Hello guys,
I've been wanting a NAS for over a year now and I would like to now fulfill my dream.
The thing is that I'm somewhat of a perfectionist and I would hate myself if the NAS wouldn't turn out how I wanted it too. (which lead to the massive delay)
I'm planning to use the NAS as a basic backup storage and maybe later setup some servers or run plex on it.
what I would like:
The Mainboard choice seems a bit difficult. I was looking at the supermicro website but they only had one mainboard available which had a rly weird formfactor so I gave up the search there.
I'd love if someone could tell me if I should choose a different processor lineup or smth, because I don't know what to do.
My budget is about 1200€ so I don't mind spending a bit more money if it's worth it.
I am grateful for any help

what I would like:
- 4 Core CPU with modern architecture as I want good Performance/Watt
- a mainboard probably ATX (so I could add a 2.5 card or GPU for plex if needed) with ECC support
- ECC RAM, I guess 16 GB should be ok
