I built my old Ubuntu Server 16 years ago and it finally died. After doing some research I decided to go with the bigger case to have more room for drives. My server hosts Plex, Pihole and file server. Also use it for ripping DVD's. I did not use the included drive since I already had my OS on another SSD. Popped my drives in and changed some settings in the BIOS and bingo I was back up and running. It is quiet until I put in a DVD. Some felt pads under the case help with that. Ripping DVD's is 10 times faster than my old server. So far great deal on this.
