After reading your response, I'm going to go with the tbs-h574tx with 5x samsung 990 pro 4tb nvmes in raid z1 and swap the fans for Noctuas. A self built jonsbo n2 or more likely n3 seems a bit challenging to reach the same or better levels of storage, power usage, network connectivity, and ultra quiet cooling. My only real question is that in your response you mentioned that the ram was upgradable to 32gb for the tbs-h574tx. Everything I've read(including your initial review) said the ram is soldered and is 12gb for the i3 model and 16gb for the i5 model. I read that to use all of the features of QuTS, I'll need a minimum of 16 gb of ram. At this point, I'm just planning to get the i5 model, but just wanted to make sure the ram wasn't actually upgradable, and that 16gb is enough to handle dockers for qbitorrent, radarr, sonarr, plex, and maybe a VPN and a couple(literally) extra containers? Thanks again for all the advice.
