Hi everyone

A few weeks ago i bought a USB stick with an Unraid Plus licens, i have tested it on my very old (+10 years old) server, and it works,

I would like to get more processing power, more memory and newer hardware, that uses less power.

But I have not build my own machine since i made this more than 10 years ago. So i need some help :)

The purpose of the machine, is hosting my DVD collection, so my kids can watch old movies.Running a multitude of Docker Containers like: Grafana, Influx, Zigbee2Mqtt, Plex, Home Assistant, Mysql, Dotnet Core, Minecraft and more.

I would like the following features:

6 Sata Ports

at least 1 nvme port (prefer 2 or more)

possibility for at least 2*32 GB ram.

At least 1 Gbit/s ethernet.

A cpu with Intel Quick sync would be nice to transcode the movies.

a low power CPU to lower the running costs.

What motherboard and CPU would be a good choice? a ATX formfactor would be nice, so it fit in my old Antec Housing.

Thanks a lot for your time.
