    Looking into building a home server or nas

    My zyxel nas has 2 bays, so I could swap out the current drives. Though I should check and see if the 10 TB drives are compatible first. I'm beginning to think that I should look into a new NAS for these and use the machine for something else. The reason I was looking at a separate ripping...

    Antec Sonata III recommendation?

    Yea, that is true. I might be better off buying a new case when I need one. It's just a nice case to have as a spare. Maybe, I should just go with the door for now.
