Help for getting started with hardware
I dived into the selfhosting rabbit hole once again and again I am stuck at the hardware part.
I'd like to start small-ish to make it realisable. I thought about a NAS (Openmediavault probably). First I wanted to do it on a Raspberry Pi with an external hard-drive but then I read USB connected drives are unreliable and so on.
Mini PCs are too small to house internal drives so should I go with a (refurbished) business PC from ebay and add some drives to it?But they usually come with Windows 10, which I wouldn't need but makes them more expensive.
I also have at least one old PC case laying around but no mainboard or CPU for it, if that info might be important.
Thank you in advance for helping a noob out!
