"By 'guide', do you mean how I assembled the hardware piece by piece, or the software setup/OS I used? Let me know and I can give you more details! Regarding the cost, here is the full breakdown of every part and price (Total was roughly ~510€ / $545): Case: JONSBO N4 NAS Chassis (Black, Walnut wood panel) - 111.39€ CPU + Mobo: MACHINIST X99 RS9 Motherboard + Intel Xeon E5 2680 V4 - 75.39€ Boot Drive: KingSpec M.2 NVMe SSD 128GB - 34.19€ RAM: 2x16GB DDR4 ECC: (Bought second-hand on Wallapop) 90.00€ PSU: Lian Li SP750 v2 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular SFX - 136.62€ Case Fan: Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM (120mm) - 14.90€ CPU Cooler: Thermalright AXP120-X67 Low Profile (67mm height) - 33.06€ GPU: NVIDIA GT 710 (Bought second-hand on Wallapop) - 15.00€ Storage (6x 1TB HDDs): Free! (They were considered "e-waste" at the university where I work because they've been using SSDs for years, but the drives are practically new). Miscellaneous: I’m leaving out the cost of SATA and ethernet cables, but let's assume it's negligible for the total budget (around 10-20€). Hope this helps!"
