Hi , just need some advice it’s my first time doing this - I’m wanting
to make a NAS that is power efficient

I would want to run at least the following things, but will likely
grow:

* Plex (with transcoding)
* Ad Blocker
* Password manager
* Immich
* VPN
* Arr’s Suite
* In the future either steam or PC Game pass
* OS: Unraid

I have some hardware at my disposal to make this happen:

1) Case: Fractal Design Node 804 HTPC Micro-ATX

2) 8x HDD

Have the following items in mind already have the case

Please advise what more I would need thank you

You should use jellyfin instead of Plex !

 Also if you don't store much you can use an old laptop (with the
battery removed and not an HDD) and convert it to a server, it's often
cheaper electricity wise.
