Nice case!
I went a bit more premium and got supermicro board and ECC ram. Love the ipmi stuff on it. I have a supermicro case which looks terrible and I cant hot swop the drives..but in 6 years I've had to replace 1 drive.
Freenas is a joy to use.

As long as it does the job bud!
I would have liked an ECC board and RAM but i just hit the limit of my budget (Spent £700), maybe in the future if i feel it's worth it in terms of the risk.

Yeah £700 is tough budget when you need drives in that as well!
I was quite lucky when I built my NAS I already had drives from main pc and some other spare bits to do the build with, I went for an ATX sized board to keep costs a bit lower.

Yeah, i do have 4x 3TB HDDs but i really wanted WD Red drives for the NAS. I was also pretty fixed on wanting a small ITX system, something i could hide away easily and low power. I dont think i did to bad on cost but really couldn't push it anymore.
