Server build for Jellyfin/arrs and docker

G'day! I am looking to build a jellyfin server with the arrs through docker. Any advice is welcome.

I want to use quicksync and have expandable storage. An SSD cache would be nice too. Not fussed about back ups for this media as important files I have backed up 321. I can't afford a Synology Nas. I already have a bunch of SATA HDD's with media on them that I would like to utilise in this build.

I was thinking of some type of hard drive bay and an Optiplex/Thinkcentre?

Question is, how does the PC and the hard drive bay connect? Do I need any other hardware? Am I even on the right path here? Go easy on me, I'm new to this and on a budget. Thanking you all and here's to cutting the cord!

Just built one myself. Here's what I used:

  • Jonesbo N2 case
  • Topton/CWWK/BKHD NAS motherboard from AliExpress - includes N5105 or J6412 processors, 2 M.2 slots and 2x ddr4 slots. They haven't started rolling out N100 boards yet otherwise I would have gone for that.
  • 32gb ddr4
  • EVGA supernova 450gm power supply. Overkill but they don't make many sfx power supplies that are fully modular.
  • 2x1tb nvme drives
  • Case has 5 hdd bays for a pretty decent amount of media storage.

Cost me less than $600 USD not including any HDD. Modifying this a little could probably put you under $500

Prior to this I used an old Optiplex 3040 sff ($100) with a 1tb HDD and core i3 6100 and replaced the cd drive with a SSD bay so I could boot the OS off of that. It worked for a budget but didn't have any expandable storage.

Nice build. That is a lovely case by the way! Not too exxy either.
