01 / NAS BUILDER
A better build starts with a better plan.
From your first NAS to a growing homelab. One place for the decisions that matter. Here’s what we’re working towards.
02
Know what fits
Documented rules will check the details – from CPUs and ECC memory to HBAs, cables and drive bays.
03
Think a few drives ahead
Plan ports, power, cooling and physical space for your next upgrade, as well as what you need today.
NO GUESSWORK
“Probably fits” isn’t good enough.
A parts list is just the beginning. Our goal is a compatibility engine with traceable manufacturer sources, clear limitations and honest answers when information is missing.

One shared platform, with purpose-built tools for every part of your setup.
WHY BUILDMYNODE?
Less second-guessing. Fewer wrong parts. More building.
Good hardware deserves a good plan. We want to make the knowledge behind a considered NAS or server build available to everyone – free, understandable, and with compatibility independent of commissions.
