Yeah, this build has been a bit of a pain. I initially wanted to use an i3-8100 that was leftover from a Dell prebuilt I acquired from work. I ordered a B360 mATX motherboard and a Fractal Design Node 804 before I moved into a house, thinking I would have enough space there, only to realize I did not in fact have enough space. That's when I ordered a B360 mITX board, which was dead on arrival.
That's when I decided we should just upgrade my partner's computer, use the 3600 for the NAS, and buy a new motherboard from Micro Center. Whenever I upgrade the NAS hardware, I'll be going with Intel for sure.
As for the GPU, I should have mentioned I will be using a leftover GTX 1060 3GB for initial setup. Unfortunately, the Jonsbo N2 only allows for a low-profile single slot PCIe card. Once I have TrueNAS installed, I should be able to access it through a browser.
Good catch, and thank you for checking!
