Help to set up HomeLab in a newly built house (alien.top)

Hello everyone, I am building a house, and I want to have a very good HomeLab for it, I want to connect all the home automation (Home Assistant) that will be enough, cameras with frigate or something similar, media server with Plex or Jellyfin (4k transcoding and about 4 simultaneous users), with their containers .arr, more containers for different purposes etc, something powerful and if possible that does not have a very high consumption. I have already thought about the routers and swich that will be Unify with POE ports to connect cameras, access points and others, the biggest doubt is the Hardware for the HomeLab. I would like it to be all in Rackmount format with more than 4 bays for hard drives, a powerful processor like an i7 13gen.

Could someone give me a little guidance to see how to do it? Hardware, chassis etc? I'm not very clear and do not know how to follow.

Thank you very much in advance and greetings.

Thank you very much for your answer
Could you recommend me which NUC models would be suitable for this?
I currently have a synology ds220+ and I have been very short especially with the Plex server I have to limit it to 1080p because otherwise the other services are very slow.
Thank you very much

I would see which Intel GPUs are supported by Plex and choose a NUC with one of those.
