So I had been looking for a home NAS solution for a while now, and I was wavering between building my own NAS, or ordering a pre-built solution similar to the Asustor Xeon powered NASs. I had been browsing the serverbuilds.net forums and looking over the NAS Killer builds, but I wanted some miniITX based, …

After installing one the plastic lawn tool racks from home depot in my garage.. I loaded it up with all my shovels, rakes, brooms etc… It held them all, but nothing really felt secure.
