Z490 Server Parts List and Cost

The parts used int he Z490 server build for OMV are all brand new. This entire system could have been built for much less if I sourced the parts out better or bought used parts. This build (just like any build) is completely subjective to whatever the use case may be. I plan to use this for Emby streaming and several other docker services. It will do the job just fine.
