homelab upgrade recommendations (sh.itjust.works)

Hello I've been playing around with an old laptop as my home server for 1 year and I think that now it's a good time to upgrade to something better since it feels a bit too slow.

I was thinking to buy a synology but I would prefer something custom because I hate that sometimes the manufacturers decide to abandon support or change all their terms of service.

My budget is about 1000$ USD, I'm looking for it to have at least 20TB and the option to later add a graphics card would be nice.

What do you recommend to buy? Also what software do you recomend? Also could it work with an n100 mini PC?

I've been using Ubuntu server, with docker containers for several services, but I mainly use it for Nextcloud

$650 for the box leaves you $350 for drives and a 10Gb NIC. I've been using serverpartdeals refub drives with good results. They're ~$10/tb.
