I've been convinced to build my own NAS again instead of going with a Synology and I'm thinking there are probably parts that don't matter if you buy used vs new but I'm curious what your thoughts are?

My NAS was built almost entirely with Ebay parts in 2018 and is still humming just fine, I had a water leak when I moved into my house and it hosed 2 of my WD Gold Enterprise drives. If I remember correctly the PSU was the only thin I put in that was new.
