Ability to access the NAS from anywhere.I don't need a crazy amount of space, I was thinking maybe two 8tb drives? If needs grow in the future I will just have to upgrade.Have a place to store files, movies, and music.

Consider this as if you have the same needs and are going to build it for yourself I'm looking for information on, best parts to use, cases people have used, and any other suggestions you can think of. I'm not very knowledgable on this topic so as much help I can get the better. Some of the best posts I've read have been from here so I decided to create an account and hope I can get some help through my own post. Throughout my weeks of researching I've found some forum posts about the same topic but they usually get de-railed rather quickly and don't resolve. It seems like the best thing for my needs is to make a NAS that has enough CPU power for media streaming. Unfortunately, the hard drive failed on me, assumingely because it really wasn't built for that type of usage. Its definitely not the best way to do this but it worked. Up until recently, I have been using an external hard drive that plugs into my router via USB to stream media files to multiple TVs and for storage. I have been researching a NAS build for weeks now and I just cannot find any answers.
