I have a Corsair Professional Series 80 PLUS Gold (AX850) with cables
The case has 2 80 fans at the rear.
It is only built for 4 SATA devices.
I have 2 Seagate Dell enterprise plus ST4000NM0023 4 TB SAS 2 3.5 in Enterprise Drives
I have 2 Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 SSD 1TB
Plan to use the NVME in RAID 1 if possible
I only have 1 M.2 slot so I may use two SSDs for Raid 1

I already have sufficient storage
I alreadt have PSUs

My Drives are not SAS they are these;
I was looking at another server a built awhile back
Seagate EXOS Enterprise 4 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive
updated part list
Sadly I do not game or edit videos.
That is why I selected CPUs with onboard graphics.
I also have a Intel® Ethernet Network Adapter I225 Series and a QNAP QSW-2104-2S is an unmanageable switch with 2 x 10 GbE SFP+ ports and 4 x 2.5 GbE ports

The specifications for both the 2U home server and the general-use PC at home seem to be well thought out and should perform well for their intended purposes. However, there are a few points that could be improved or considered for better performance and longevity.
2U Home Server
CPU Cooler: The Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 Low-Profile Quiet Cooler is a high-quality cooler, but you might want to consider the NH-U14S or NH-D15 for better cooling performance, especially if you plan to overclock your CPU.
RAM: 32GB is more than enough for most server tasks, but if you plan to run heavy virtualization tasks or use Docker, you might want to consider 64GB or even 128GB.
Storage: The build doesn't include any storage devices. Depending on your needs, you might want to add some SSDs for faster data access, or HDDs for more storage space.
General-use PC
CPU: The Intel Core i3-12100 is a good CPU for general use, but if you plan to do heavy multitasking, gaming, or video editing, you might want to consider a more powerful CPU like the i5 or i7 series.
RAM: 32GB is a good amount of RAM for general use, but if you plan to do heavy multitasking or use memory-intensive applications, you might want to consider 64GB or even 128GB.
Storage: The build doesn't include any storage devices. Depending on your needs, you might want to add some SSDs for faster data access, or HDDs for more storage space.
CPU Cooler: The Noctua NH-L9i-17xx Low-Profile CPU Cooler LGA1700 (Brown) is a good cooler, but you might want to consider the NH-U14S or NH-D15 for better cooling performance, especially if you plan to overclock your CPU.
In conclusion, while the current build specifications are solid, you might want to consider the above points to better suit your specific needs and improve performance and longevity.
I have actually spent a great deal of time coming through motherboards and all the things that go along with it to make sure everything is compatible
