Now the case I've been looking at is completely sold out everywhere, and going for way more than normal price.

Close to a month on trying to build a PC, and still not a finish line in sight.

yep.   i remember building a PC once.   it was both much easier and much harder that i thought it would be.    at my age (and wage) i don't think i could be bothered to do it again.

Does the case matter that much since it's just a server?

It doesn't have to be that specific case, but I'd like a good one that can hold 12+ drives.

I'm still waiting on another HDD anyways, so I'm not in a rush.

Going to try putting together a RAID6 with 4 18TB drives. So 36 TB of usable space. Currently using 30TB on my current PC.

I'd probably be totally fine with like 6 drives for a very long time.

But I feel like it would be nice to set up those 1TB drives, and have them in their own RAID configuration.

Maybe I should just get this 8x case that is available and swap out the disc drives slots for 3.5" slots.

I reinstalled windows on a new 2TB SSD.
That was kind of painful.

I luckily have never had to do that. I only ever upgrade external hard drives.
