Out of the options I wrote up earlier I made the decision to build a new music/Roon server myself and just ordered the following stuff. Made some changes to the original list of stuff, mainly to save costs. The Streacom is cheaper and I found the Skylake i7 6700T CPU used for less than the Kaby Lake i5 7600T CPU I mentioned earlier. Differences between Kaby Lake and Skylake are minor and not really worth it, especially in this case where it'll run in a headless server.
Case: Streacom FC8 Alpha Optical Fanless Chassis - Silver (http://www.streacom.com/products/fc8-alp...s-chassis/)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H110TN-E (http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H...-rev-10#ov)
RAM: Crucial DDR4 2133Mhz CL15 - 8GB (kit 2 x 4GB)
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700T (2.8GHz-3.6GHz, quad core, hyper threading, 35W, 8MB L3 cache)
Arctic Silver AS5 - 12grams (thermal compound)
This costs me ~573 euro's, a lot less than any commercial seller would charge.
Will add the 1TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD and entry level server grade PCI-E Intel I210 ethernet adapter I already own to make the system complete.
To be continued!
edit: the case looks rather big in this picture but it measures: 24 x 25 x 10cm.
