After fighting my old PC the whole day. 😂 I have concluded that not to go with pc. I’m looking at NAS Synology and FreedomBox Pioneer Edition, etc.
You can still use one of these with the NAS as storage. A Synology doesn't have a lot of horsepower to run programs directly on their hardware so if you plan on doing something like a media server you might encounter some issues. An optiplex (or any other PC) running Proxmox will let you run a bunch of different containers or VMs separately
You are correct. After speaking to a friend, I have decided to build a new NAS. For less than £200, I can quickly build a decent PC.
I was surprised by that £200 motherboard and CPU custom build; if I directly buy those Pre-built NASs, that would cost me £1K+ with the same motherboard and cpu.
