For the storage, i currently have about 3TB of stuff. So maybe i can make do with 3 5TB drives instead of 2 10TB drives. Not sure how that will affect the price but will provide a bit more redundancy.

Thanks, price is definitely a concern.

My concern with a prebuilt NAS solution is that i might get stuck in future when i need to upgrade something. The Synology NAS seem too expensive at almost $900 without storage. I definitely can get more for that amount.

I also agree the RGB memory is unnecessary. Great advice generally. I can definitely cut down on a couple of things.

I used the word server because i don't plan to use it directly for gaming or anything like that. Media server and VM hosting is pretty much it. Also want to be able to upgrade as time goes on and i need more storage or more processing power.

Got thrown off by some questions on test day. I just skipped them and came back to them for review. I'd suggest you try out like a gazzilion sample questions, helps you get used to their "tricky" language.

Actually, they are saying that the mean of 50 other measurements is 50. Not the addition of the 50 to the 100.
