It's my first time building a server and I'm feeling ovewhelmed. Looking for guidance on building a dedicated mini server.

First time server builder here. I am currently running plex from my desktop, but I want to set up a dedicated server for it so I don't have to leave my pc on all the time. I have 3 hdd drives in my computer (2x10tb, 4tb) that I want to move to a server set up. Can anyone point me the right direction for building a mini pc server? I have built a couple computers but I'm pretty new to homelab servers, networking and I'm just feel overwhelmed with all the different stuff out there.

I'm currently 3d printing the lab rax 10" server rack. So I'm looking for something compact that I can fit in there. Any advice, guides, or recommendation will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What could be causing this banding? Printed using gray bambu pla, and the default 0.12 high quality profile.

After a 4-year hiatus, and my last printer being a cr-10 V2, the speed of this thing is blowing me away right now. It's crazy how far 3d printing tech has come in just that amount of time!

Just started building my Salamander (and first space marine) army, what are some of the vehicles I should prioritize getting first?

Just a disclaimer: I'm pretty new to the 40K universe as a whole, I already purchased a dreadnought redempter so that's already on the way. What are some of the other vehicles I should prioritize getting to have a well-rounded army?

Went to pick up one pot of paint and found this little guy tucked ina corner of the store. Couldn't leave him there.

I'm just starting my salamander army, and went to the Warhammer store to get one paint that I needed for the bases I'm doing but they were sold out, so I called this store that I don't frequent very often to see if they just had some, then made the mistake of looking at what models they had in stock when I got there. And there it was, its like it was meant to be.

I picked up my first miniatures yesterday. For only 100 bucks I felt like this is a good starting point so went with the 10e starter set. How'd I do?

Been kind of obsessed with WH40k since getting SM2 on sale a couple of weeks ago. I blinked and found myself checking out at the Warhammer store yesterday. Thinking I'm going to go with the Salamander Chapter for these guys.

I want to buy my first combat patrol box but I see everyone is currently freaking out about their units being obsolete due to rule changes. Should I wait to pick one now?

Sorry if I sound ignorant but I'm totally new to all this, I'm coming from d&d tabletop games. I was about to head to a games workshop down the road after work and now I'm seeing everyone on the subs are upset about rule changes for the combat patrols. Should I wait for the dust to settle?

Found at my local best buy in Austin. $517 per terabyte for a 4tb sata ssd. This shit is out of control.
