Building a NAS from old computers
Hey guys, so I found my old desktop in the closet and its an old Q6600 LGA 775 setup with 4gb of ram. Thinking of using this as my NAS instead of buying something from QNAP etc.
I know newer nas boxes would use less power etc but I also have an E5200 I can shove in which should reduce power consumption but I'm thinking if this would be enough power for a media server. Maybe a bit of transcoding but shouldn't be much.
My question is would this be a good idea or should I just get something from Synology, QNAP and make my life easier.
