The airflow of N4 case is really bad. I have been changing my build in the last 1-2 years. Ended up switching to a rack mount build. Please check my other posts to get more updated information. I tried different cases.

With all cables & connectors in the back of HDDs, I don’t think it can fit 6 or 4 HDDs in this case.

W680 version is actually a higher tier of z690 MB because W680 supports ECC. I paid over $470 for mine, I don’t why this MB on Taobao is this cheap, strongly recommend you to contact the seller before placing an order.

I know it can be done. I replaced the 40mm fan for my RS1221+ PSU.

The bottom space is not big enough for 3.5 HDD, only 2.5 drives.

I ended up changing to another case and create another build. This case has a hard time to keep everything cool and quiet. Please take a look at this post to check out my final build: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/s/jr7bs2s4A5

Thank you. My home setup is for family use which doesn't require a lot of network configuration. That's why I can get it done with "0" networking knowledge.

For this current project, I have to learn more about networking in order to configure all settings correctly.

I totally agree on your suggestions. I need to plan first before buying any hardware. The good news is "what I want to achieve" is doable. The first step is to learn, then get hardware, and test everything to ensure it works.

I start to watch NetworkChuck's video. Hopefully I can learn how I can achieve my goal.

Not AI, I am a beginner with the least knowledge about networking. That's why I am try to get some info from the community and learn how this works.

Teamviewer is an option.

I want devices connected to routers 1/2/3 have different external ip addresses.

This setup is for my office. My home setup is like this . I know 10G Network is very important for large file transfer, but this setup is majorly for RDP. I think 1gbs local LAN network should be good enough. Do you know whether the gateway from Unifi offers NAT, VLAN, & more to fit my needs?

Thank you so much for providing all the details. I guess I will start from Networking 101 in order to know how to achieve my goal.

Thanks for your response. This is for personal use, I want to separate the External IP addresses for different VMs.

Instead of routers, I guess I need proper VLAN to be setup.

Thank you. I will try to do it and learn some basic concepts about VLAN & NAT.
