Hey guys,

I dont really have much experience with this sort of thing, but I shall try my best to describe what I am after.

Basically, I am looking to build a low budget PC to act as a storage server which can be accessed from my main machine.

Is this something I should build myself? If so, can anyone suggest a build?

Or should I just look at a NAS or something similar?

Also, if this pc was to have movies/music on it, would these be playable over the network without having to copy them over to my main pc?

Thanks,

-Nick

NAS would be great for it.

Any suggestions of a NAS? They seem super expensive.

Very expensive. Qnap and Synology are the ones I use.

The first and third are the same. Was that a typo? Out of those two, I'd get the cheaper one. Qnap one is better, but not $80 better.
