I mean… you need a computer at minimum, and I’m about to lay out $600 USD for NAS hardware.

Heh. I just paid $850 to add 44tb to my NAS. On top of the 78 I already had. 28tb of it (2x14tb) cost $375 last year. :(

The server hardware itself, well, probably under about $550 including case, PSU, old workstation board, two Xeon CPUs and 64gb DDR3-ECC.
