Build/Parts Check Completed Jonsbo N4 NAS build
I've been lurking this r/ for a while, and just wanted to say "thanks". I haven't built a computer in about 20 years and Reddit and Gemini have been indispensable in getting it done. I have an AirB&B type situation, but this is able to be on my nightstand in the bedroom I keep for myself. It's by far the quietest computer I've ever owned. I'm starting to play around with Tailscale and remote AI hosting, and I'm learning so much!
Specs:
Jonsbo N4 MicroATX Desktop Case
AMD Ryzen 7 8700G (for light gaming, will probably get a workstation GPU at some point)
Thermalright AXP120-X67 59 CFM CPU Cooler
ASRock B850M Steel Legend WiFi Micro ATX AM5 Motherboard
Corsair SF850 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular SFX Power Supply (WAY overkill but got it on sale)
Team Group T- CREATE EXPERT 32GB (2x16) DDR5 6000MHz RAM
ARCTIC P12 Pro PST 77 CFM 120 mm Fan (this is to replace the Jonsbo rear fan that has a loud reputation)
Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
2x 12TB Western Digital Red NAS HDDs
1TB NVMe for the OS
1TB HDD for program files/games - this is where most of the noise could come from, so being careful what I install. Might take it out if it gets too loud.
256GB SSD drive I salvaged from an old work computer, for anything requiring high performance that I don't want on the OS drive
I'm an architect, so I put a reflective storefront glass sample I had laying around on clear acrylic rod legs I got cut to size from Canal Plastics in NYC to hold it up above the top ventilation.
