My NAS is an 8th gen i7 Dell Optiplex I got on ebay for like $175. Running TrueNAS CORE. With a shucked 18tb WD Easystore that was a black Friday deal at $200.

And you could save a bit more if you went with an i5 instead.

this is why I love Firefox. I can create a throw away profile, file my taxes, then delete that profile. I do this for a lot of sites. Social media has a separate profile from shopping, ect...
