I would like one but cant justify the expense for the crazy songs i do…

Most of the high-price rackmounts are servers with multiple disc caddies, dual supplies and so on. It's quite feasible to get a reasonably(!) priced rackmount, though I'll agree they're not cheap as such.

There's a pre-built example here in the UK, which isn't bad value and is designed for quiet: https://g2digital.co.uk/products/rack-pc/2u-nano/

I'll probably build my own, though not definitely.

I offer it merely as a thought, rather than "you should do this".
