Just got four 16 Tb and three 12 Tb drives, looking to build a Nas/homelab - need advice on where to start - eviltoast

Rescued the drives from the trash, all functional, less than 1 year old. I am looking to set up a multimedia server and NAS, but I need hardware suggestions. Looking to keep the spend here under $600. The synology drive bays are giving me some sticker shock. Was planning on using TrueNas.

    You could get a decent Dell R730 for under $600. Big rack mount server, but they are a great deal if you have room for them.
