The main purpose of this server build is to be a NAS.
To host a bunch of storage, and related network services such as Samba.
Similar to FreeNAS, but based on a regular FreeBSD install.
But I also wanted to be able to do a bit more,
such as experiment with different applications,
and run multiple virtual development servers,
and maybe even run some heavier things like a public game server.
The main requirements are stability and performance,
power consumption is secondary but still a factor.
