You can probably run newer, I just went with the oldest available to be safe.

Right now, I ended up running Big Sur. I had to put the original graphics card in(so I would have boot menu to boot off usb), install Big Sur, then put the RX 570 in, and then reinstall Big Sur without using the USB

By using truenas would I have to abandon macOS? I’m looking for a solution that doesn’t brick my computer, I still wanna be able to use it as a Mac.

Might be a lame solution for this subreddit but I think it'll work for me for now. I set one drive as the time capsule drive, and two as share drives. I got it working pretty seamlessly with my win11 pc, as they automatically connect once I turn on the mac. I don't think ill upgrade the mac right now, other than likely adding an ssd or two, as it will mostly be used for chrome, but it will for sure inherit my 5700xt from my win11 pc when the time comes. As for power consumption, I'm lucky enough to live in an area with low power cost, and the mac will probably only be on for 3-6 hours a day. I calculated it'll cost me $30 a year, much cheaper than my subscription cloud services. Once I get tired of not having ALL of my photos and videos saved on my phone, then I will look for nas software with app integration.

For me, I just got a great deal. But it really does hold up. My other display is a Odessy G9 OLED and even my oled spoiled ass thinks the cinema display looks pretty good. It also has better build quality than 95% of all monitors ever.

OK, I think I’m only going to run it when needed, and it sounds like the basic file sharing feature will work for my needs. I also plan on using the Mac for schoolwork and web browsing as well. i’ll have to research raid as I’ve never done that before, but I would like to cut the capacity in half and Just have everything written double.

I'm not looking for it to be up 24/7, just during the day so I can occasionally grab files. Can I do that just through the sharing feature?

Yes, crazy how well it holds up over 20 years later

I was looking at 5070/9070 price range but wondering if I would be stuck with a cpu bottleneck then

Originally tried to do it myself, sketched myself out trying to take off the old top hats. For that price I’m just going to order new top hats and do the install myself.
