Cheap NAS build

[valent0ne]

I need a cheap build (better if around 100€) for torrenting, SMB and Docker.

 

What do I already have:

- 6GB PC3-10600S (4GB + 2GB) RAM https://i.imgur.com/HJqOPDW.jpg

- 2TB 3.5" HDD (and it would be enough for the moment)

 

What do I need: everything else (case, psu, mobo, cpu)

Performance-wise I would like to get something like the Synology DS218play/+.

I need it to also have low power consumption (I'm in europe so keep it in mind while hunting for prices ❤️ ).

so in general, you want everything for nothing. 

 

You cant expect a low power machine for $100. I would go for a used Prebuilt PC:

^^^ anything from that list should do. It will be more power, but it will fit into your budget. 

 

I don't know driver-wise which one will fit, so you'll need to research that part. Find a couple of choices and see if anybody on the forum already has something like that.

I just bought a HP8300 Elite SFF (no HDD) for about 75€ and it works great running 6.2.2 - 3615xs

Aside from the humming fan noise, I'm really happy with the setup.
