Hi all,

I’m considering getting into the game and building a budget NAS from scratch. How does this build look as a simple, relatively cheap starting point?

Here is one. But I don't blame you for wanting to build your own. You could just start with an old desktop, throw some drives in it and install your choice of nas software. Might give you more money to buy more storage for your nas.
