4 NAS drives - will be SATA, but could use PCIe expansion
minimum CPU performance - RPi5 - was fine on my Phenom II x4, so not a high bar
Services:
I/O heavy - Jellyfin (no live transcoding), Collabora (and NextCloud/ownCloud), samba, etc
CPU heavy - CI/CD for Rust projects (relatively infrequent), gaming servers (Minecraft for now), speech processing (maybe? Looking to build Alexa alt)
others - actual budget, vault warden, Home Assistant

I’m currently using my old Ryzen 1700, but I’d be fine downgrading a bit if it meant significantly lower power usage. I’d really like to put this under my bed, and it needs to be very quiet to do that.
Here’s my actual requirements:
