I’m trying to plot out a home server build, and I’d like to do it in a rackmount form factor. Use case will likely be Proxmox running a NAS VM and some media services. For the NAS piece, I was thinking an enclosure with hot swap bays would be nice. Anyone have recommendations on the case/enclosure itself? I’ve seen this Rosewill one on Newegg (https://www.newegg.com/rosewill-rsv-l4412u-black/p/N82E16811147330), but struggling to find many other options.

That’s interesting. I had thought of doing TrueNAS Scale as a VM running in Proxmox, but you’re suggesting have TrueNAS itself be the bare-metal hypervisor? What do you find annoying about Proxmox?
I haven’t really ever found anything that checks enough boxes to make building my own in a chassis worth it, I run old Dell and Supermicro servers instead. The closest I have seen to what I want are these:
At that cost, you’d better buy a full Dell R720
