Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy
Auth@lemmy.world 2 weeks agomy gaming pc runs at like 50w idle and only draws a ton of power if its being used for something. It would be more accurate to consider a PC to be 1.75x more power than a NAS but then account for the cost of buying a NAS. I’d say NAS would probably take 2-4 years to pay off depending on regional power prices.
