Comment on Help with home server plan
Danitos@reddthat.com 3 days agoThanks for the response. I have a question
Given the tight budget
I can increase the budget, but I though that $200USD would be enough to get me starter, given that the 200 don’t include the drives. If I were to increase it, what would you recommend?

Maybe trying with some Raspberry Pis for your services (takes up less space, low power) and building a dedicated machine for the NAS, as suggested by @hodgepodgin@lemmy.zip, but that’s a whole different budget.
Otherwise, maybe going for some mini-pcs, more recent second-hand PCs (stronger CPU for video encoding) or just more RAM and more disks.
I guess the final price will depend on what exact machine you can get your hands on.
