After much consideration, I have committed to a build project described at GitHub.
Feel free to add comments or questions here, or via GitHub Issues.
I am still considering recording this and posting on YouTube, but I hate video editing, even though I took a YouTube course at Gulf Island Film and Television School (GIFTS) years ago.
I think the community here might appreciate seeing a video from someone other than an influencer who was sent the chassis and a bunch of parts for free.
Will you get the chassis+psu? If not, what psu?
What drives will you be putting in the backplane?
I ordered without the PSU, as I already have a 1200 Watt PSU I can repurpose.
I will be using Western Digital Red (NAS) drives, 4 and 8 TB, which I already have, and be repurposing.
