So this will be my first FreeNas build and I am curious if my hardware choices are smart or a little overkill. I plan using the server in a few different ways, 1) As a Plex media server 2) VM storage for my lab 3) General storage and as a learning experience with FreeNAS. Here is my current buildsheet, the case is still kind of up in the air as I'm not sure if I want a half rack in the office.
