+But this makes me think if I still need a NAS?
+My Synology just sits in the corner and serves movies to TV and backups photos.
+None of this requires a 24/7 on device, and serving movies in 2024 is pretty taxing on the little fella.
+Too taxing, since transcoding a 10 bit HEVC monster in real time is impossible.
+Having a dedicated GPU for that would solve this pickle, so I'd install Jellyfin on my new desktop either way.

+I also don't have that many hard drives - just 4, plus 2 SSDs for cache.
+Any decent non-gamer oriented case should accommodate that.
+I'd need one that *also* fits a recent Radeon, as Baldur 3 seems to be a must-play for me.
+I don't care about big AAA games, so except of BG3, I'd most likely mostly play whatever [[https://adventuregamers.com/][Adventure Gamers]] rates high.
+
+How dumb idea is this?
+Are there any downsides?
+I have no idea!
+
+I would not be able to run things like photo gallery for my family, but I could relegate a Raspberry Pi just for this.
+We are currently using Apple something-something, so it's also not the case where anyone can access all the photos.
+Or I could go crazy with it, and get myself a tiny PC and treat is firewall (about which I've been thinking for some time) and make it the actual computational server.
+Just decouple the storage.
