Assembling desktop setup for newbies?
#2
Thumbs Up 
The wiki for the NAS case has a nice suggested parts list, the Slackware installation guide recommends a SATA controller with the MZHOU / Marvell chipset  and counsels against using eMMC memory in a live system because they are not robust enough for long term use. 

I went with the NAS case, 4G RockPro64, Wifi card, case fan, tall heat sink, 5A power supply, don't forget a CMOS battery.  I sourced a SATA card elsewhere and will run 2 SATA devices comfortably.  

P=iv  60w=5Ax12v 
Most 2.5" SSD or HDD draw approx 10w peak I don't see an issue. 

I of course will be installing Slackware but your options are wide open.

I have it all assembled, will have install done in a few days hopefully. Smile

ETA: I picked up a 500GB SSD at Wally World for $55- it came with a USB to SATA adapter - BONUS!!
