Find some random used office PC and strap the drives inside. Install treunas and let it ride.

Yeah, I just ordered some cheap stuff from Ali Express to build one out instead, 150 instead of like 500. I figured I'd rather have new old parts than used old parts, even if the specs are lower, I guess we'll see how it pans out, at least it'll probably have a better uptime than my old hobbling pc.

Thanks for the heads up on truenas though, wasn't sure what I'd need to use, cheers for that!
