interesting budget build
not suitable for me, but it’s a good reference, see whats possible at the lowest end, then work your way up (adding on or replacing parts)
i probably overspent 
i was leaning more toward my first diy nas dream build. it didnt have all i wanted, but something i felt was acceptable for me. i hope to check a power consumption reading, but i’m not holding my breath but i will report back my findings
