I guess that feels more like something for small/medium businesses than home server.
I actually missed the integrated GPU part as well, as it’s not on their tech-spec list. I wonder what the specs on that are, I’d want something at least that I could use to compute embeddings for file/document retrieval. This iGPU looks like it’s 4 years old, which would be fine for video decode.
It’s decent for most usecases. The motherboard has two gen5 pcie ports, and it comes with a 1,000W power supply, so you should be able to add a discrete card if you need it.
I don’t know, it’s a solid package, 15 bays, decent CPU with good integrated graphics, and not much more than much smaller and weaker NAS offerings.

Sure, you could build your own comparable system, but it’s a nice package at a fair price, assuming it doesn’t go up.
