Been lurking and reading for awhile; lots to learn.
My goal is to build a FreeNAS box to store family photos and videos and use Plex for sharing those photos and videos, streaming movies and DVR.
I contemplated building a machine based on an LGA-2011 motherboard so that I could get more bang for my buck with a used Xeon processor and DDR3 but I'm thinking building something based on the current recommendations might be less of a headache.
The FreeNAS community here looks active and very supportive which I think is great.
