I turned a gaming case into a living room NAS
This case was meant for gaming but I decided to do a little tinkering to see if I could truly turn this build into a NAS for a good-looking home server in your living room.
Info
I originally built a standalone media server on Windows that focused on low energy use, but decided to take it one step further.
