ZimaBoard 2 NAS Build: Replacing my Full Sized Home Server

In this video we are making a massive change to the devwithzachary lab. I am officially moving away from my bulky Fractal Node 804 build and shrinking my entire home server setup down to the ZimaBoard 2.

We take a deep dive into what makes this board special. I unbox the unit, tear it down to see the internals, and even try to run a dedicated GPU using that built in PCIe slot. Does it actually work for a NAS? We will find out as I set up ZimaOS, install the official NAS kit, and deal with some heat management along the way.

If you are looking for a compact, power efficient alternative to standard PC parts for your home lab, this might be the answer.
