Proxmox and TrueNAS in my Living Room Techno Tim Tinkers 2024-10-03 | This case was meant for gaming but I decided to do a little tinkering to see if I could truly turn this build into a NAS for a good-looking home server in your living room. Oh, and I decided to install the power combo - Proxmox + TrueNASI originally built a standalone media server on Windows that focused on low energy use, but decided to take it one step further.
