ZFS based NAS and home lab [Silencer Box]

This is the third part of my 'ZFS based NAS and home lab' series. The first part concentrated on why i am doing it and the second part was about the servers hardware configuration.

In this part i want to describe my silencer box which i built to actually run the server next to my desk.

ZFS based NAS and home lab [the build]

This is the second part of my 'ZFS based NAS and home lab' series. In the first part i described why i want to build one, what requirements i have and how i ended up with this setup.

In this part i will concentrate on the hardware and what i needed to do to get it to work.

ZFS based NAS and home lab [Intro]

I am running a small home server for many years now. My current version is an i3 based small form factor custom build which is mainly there to provide basic storage and services like streaming, a nextcloud instance and a bunch of other things i need on my local network. This setup worked perfectly fine for a long time but as my demands shifted i needed a different approach.
