The full story

The owner built a NAS in a Jonsbo N6 case with nine second-hand enterprise SAS drives, swapping an 8-port HBA for a 16-port one, adding a PCIe riser to fit it, and reformatting drives that showed up as 0 bytes because they used 520-byte sectors.

For the software they chose OpenMediaVault with SnapRAID and MergerFS, and used Claude Cowork to guide them through setting up the stack as separate Proxmox containers and virtual machines.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count). The Claude connector only receives the search words your Claude sends it.
