For those interested, I'm pretty sure this video is about this thing. |
| 31 |
It was new and not released to the general public at the time so it does |
| 32 |
mention some bugs and missing drivers. I suspect those are fixed or |
| 33 |
included by now. Also, the case I saw appears to be newer and not |
| 34 |
something that requires all the assembly shown in the video. |

That same channel has another video that was a pretty insane build cost |
| 39 |
wise. It had huge SSD drives. Bonus video for anyone bored to tears. lol |

This is the case I'm looking at. Pretty sure the card, CPU board and |
| 44 |
drives goes into this. Plus I think they added a display too. |

As I mentioned earlier, I plan to research that seller more. I want to |
| 49 |
make sure they stand behind their sales. Most likely do but I don't |
| 50 |
know that. ;-) |

It seems that people are working on making a really nice Raspberry Pi |
| 53 |
device for use as a NAS. It may not be perfect but even what is in the |
| 54 |
1st video would likely work fine for me. Storage wise. I like the case |
| 55 |
I linked to better tho. |
