In the spirit of #SmartHome tinkering and looming amount of video recorded, I’ve been thinking about building a home NAS.
The hardware costs an arm and a leg these days, but I still have an old #MSI mainboard with some shitty #Intel #i3 CPU AND there’s 2 sticks of 4G and 2G DDR3 RAM.
I’m still missing everything else - a case (preferably 1U and appropriate CPU cooler), power supply, decent low profile GPU and the glorious nail to this shitty coffin - hard drives…😂
And there’s energy bill…🤡

@ssamulczyk talking form experience: 1U will be a massive pain, 2U will be a small pain, 3U starts to be reasonable. I built a 2U NAS, so I know :D
