The Jonsbo N3 is a great case to start with — especially if you're aiming for a clean NAS build with some extra flexibility. Since you want to use a GPU and also connect from your phone when needed, here’s a quick build idea based on your €700 budget and storage goals:
? Hardware Suggestions:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (built-in graphics, decent for light GPU tasks — or go with a non-G CPU if you're adding a dedicated GPU).
Motherboard: B550 mATX board with 6x SATA and 1x PCIe for GPU.
RAM: 16GB DDR4 (upgradeable later if needed).
Storage: Start with 3×6TB or 4×4TB drives in RAID5/RAIDZ1 for ~12TB usable.
Boot Drive: Small NVMe SSD (120-256GB) for TrueNAS/OMV.
GPU: Something low-power like a GTX 1050 Ti or used Quadro if needed for hardware transcoding or AI tasks.
? Software:
TrueNAS Scale or OMV both support Docker and remote access via apps like Immich or Nextcloud.
Set up WireGuard or Tailscale for secure remote access from your phone.
? Remote Access:
You can use apps like:
Immich for photo backup
Nextcloud for file access
Vaultwarden for passwords All accessible from your phone with some basic network setup!
