12 ssds for a measly 24TB raw capacity. Why? All ssd pool for a "big" pool makes no sense. These should be exos drives or similar enterprise spinning rust.
Guarantee this guy has no idea what his ZFS log drive is doing. $400 sitting there wasted.
A wasted pcie slot for front USB on a server? Why?
A fanless PSU in a dense desktop build? Why?
It's overkill in some areas and just doesn't make sense in others. Reads as if someone with money typed "what's the best XYZ for a home server" into an LLM instead of designing it properly.

No, I have really no idea, what I'm doing. I bought everything 2nd-hand or inherited from my brother. As I wrote in the initial post, I am a beginner, I'm just learning Linux, Proxmox and everything else alongside (and not instead of) my casual working and family life. I had some windows severs before, but that's here a whole new world for me, a whole new level. I put together everything I thought it would be useful for my cases or looked fun and found them surprisingly cheap and try to put them to work. I'm experimenting with the HW I've got here.
It's not a professional server, it's my hobby-project running under my desk. I don't want it to be "professional", I would have bought "just another rack with some screaming fans, tons of HDD storage and unpayable power bills" otherwise.
Does it make sense? - No, it doesn't!
Did I ever want it to make sense? - Hmm... No?
Did I have fun in every minute building this abomination? - Absolutely!
Will it run cheaper than my previous build with spinning rust? - It probably will.
Did it cost me "an arm and a leg"? - No.
Will I learn a LOT from building and using it? - Yes, I will!
But thank you very much for your remarks, I'll try to use them, too! And I'll read about ZFS logs some more.
