And to add it was the most advanced device compared to the others. Full mouse support, graphical interface, WYSIWYG , it was a true gamechanger.
Had a used one myself and soldered RAM chips on the MB to make it a fat Mac with 4MB RAM . Boot disk system was copied to a RAM disk after boot. Good times
Proxmox
Edit: Installed as the hypervisor on bare metal and then whatever you want to try out like OMV, Plex, jellyfin, syncthing or cloud software in an LXC or VM
If you are able to translate or German is your thing check this page out https://www.elefacts.de/test-153-nas_basic_2.1__mini_itx_eigenbau_nas_mit_4x_sata_und_passiver_4_kern_cpu
At the end of the page there are 4 build links shown. Starter to expert. I went the basic model route. They also describe the different NAS OS systems, I chosed proxmox.
If your concern is booting USB for unraid the
solution is to sacrifice at least one of your drives
as a boot drive, or if you have the room get a pair
of small SAS drives and configure a raid 1 vol in
the perc controller.
AFAIK the USB is the dongle that unraid runs at all. You have to boot from it. After the boot its loaded into the RAM. But without the USB drive you cannot boot at all.
That is why I followed the proxmox route.
Seems like the world couldn't agree to a standard at all.

Penises C and D no longer clip through some
githyanki clothing.
Finally the important stuff is addressed.
I got motioneye running on my server and the app on our phones
We have to adopt, I started working on old tube radios. Soldering spots 10 times the iron tip 😁
Dishonered, the drunken sailor cover goose bumbs still after all those years.
As ITX was already mentioned I just built mine using Fractal Node 304 case, in black though. You could keep the ATX power supply.
I use unpriveliged LXC für everything I have running in my proxmox.
Plex, syncthing, rclone, motioneye, pyload all in seperate Lxc on the boot drive.
All data of those is on my mirror raid, including the lxc backups. The rclone lxc backs the important data onto my cloud drive.
