I want that kind of local storage but I don't want to build a whole goddamn server rack.
Do it. It is your destiny.
You don't have to build one. I bought a refurbished Dell Poweredge on ebay for $500 about 2 years ago and it's been running non-stop since then.
I still don't want to deal with blade servers. They are noisy and cumbersome.
Cumbersome, yes. Noisy? Only if you plan on having hundreds of people connect to it at once. Only my family and I use it and the only time it's been noisy is when it restarts after an update.
I consider a standard tower with stock cooling fans noisy and in my experience servers are noisier than that by a fair margin. You and I have different thresholds for what we're willing to put up with in terms of acoustics.
Same. I have B2 storage and seedboxes though. I once calculated that being subscribed to multiple services for nearly a decade will still be cheaper than trying to set up my own NAS+drives for my storage needs. (>10tb) That's with good RAID. Without redundancy it still came out even at 5 years. That's not even getting into noise, heat, maintenance, power consumption, etc. Anyway I love being 100% self-sufficient but at some point it's not rational.
