Thank you so much! After searching it up online, the Minisforum MS-01 seems to check off every box I’d had when I went looking.

I’ll look around to see if there is anything more suited, but for now, it seems like what I’ll end up going with.

I was here to say the same as pezhore, separating storage and compute is almost as important as separating church and state. Muck around, break things, have fun, all the while your data is safe (don’t forget offline backups though). The MS-01 is a fine looking box, but any old NUC / SFF will do for your purposes (modern AMD cpu or a graphics card if you need / want plex transcode).

This is a new model they’ve released, and I’ve been looking for something similar for a certain purpose for almost a year. There isn’t much lol.

For my specific project, I ended up using a Fractal Design Ridge case, and the components that fit within because I needed a GPU. The MS-01 was JUST shy in the PCIE to make it my preferred device. Maybe have a look at the Fractal Design Ridge case and a Mini-ITX AMD build if you really want to stretch your dollar and get more performance-per-watt like I did. The cost will be about the same.
