Hi folks, After flirting with docker on my Synology NAS (Self hosting Foundry VTT for D&D) and Raspberry Pi (for my 3d Printers) I'm looking at putting together a server for bigger projects.

Short term plan is to use it to host an Azerothcore instance for me and some friends and a modded minecraft server.

Longer term is to replace the synology nas with truenas, and to pick up the tasks the synology is currently doing (docker, foundry vtt, etc etc)

The main problem I have at the moment is I'll need to situate the server at a desk in the living room that already has two gaming pc's and the NAS, so in order to get partner-approval the server will have to be relatively small and as quiet as possible.

So, what are people's recommendations for cases? I may one day end up wanting to do plex type stuff, so it'll need room for a gpu.

I'm also interested in people's opinions on cpu/motherboard combos...

I'm very aware this is a rabbit hole I'm gonna fall down into hard.. I'm currently also researching best options for replacing my ISP supplied router to redo my home network...
