I would price it out vs an aoostar wtr max (699 with 6 drive case and decent amd mobile cpu plus a lot of expandability options) aoostar.com/…/aoostar-wtr-max-amd-r7-pro-8845hs-1… I bought one of those for an NVR setup (it runs proxmox on my cluster running a single vm that uses most of the system resources and has a hailo 8 passed to it plus an intel gpu passed to it through occuplink and writes to 6 drives in a raidz. I also have the nvme slots all filled for various things unrelated to this project directly like being another node in my ceph cluster). it runs surprisingly cool and very stable so far, leaving me very impressed, especially since I have it totally loaded in all nvme slots and hard drive slots (exos drives). I’m not sure how loud it is because it’s in a server rack on a shelf with lots of other noisy gear in my basement.
The reasons not to go this route: your priced option is way cheaper or you are uncomfortable with the eratic nature of cheap chinese manufacturer bios updates.
