Hi gents, Amazing with your comments. Glad to see that my initial idea wasn't completely off. I'll look into getting an i3 over the Pentium and will consider 8gb ram and bigger HDs as well. I've found a Gold certified PSU as well. Glad I had that advise. Thanks a bunch. /Peter

Dear all, First poster here. Exited to get started. I currently run two android Kodi boxes (Shield TV/Wetek Hub) and a Synology NAS (DS214+). With all the 4k content coming out, the 4tb of my NAS are being squeezed more and more as they days pass by. Therefore I have decided to upgrade my NAS with a DIY solution running Xpenology. I am a complete (!) rookie when it comes to these sort of builds so I was hoping you experts would review my component list and give feedback. The NAS shall be used for general storage, TV-Shows, Movies, Family Photos, Documents as well as running Download Station, Sonarr, Couchpotato and a SQL server for Kodi.
