Hello there. I’m thinking of getting/making a home NAS/Server/Jellyfin. I already have an old pc with a i5-6600k, GTX1060, 550w PSU just laying around and I’m trying to understand if it will be enough for it. The other options I saw was getting a Synology or making a Pi_NAS. I’m afraid that the PC will consume much more energy than the other 2 options. What do you guys think?

    I would do new PC instead of nas.

    There are many MB with CPU integrated and pcie or lots of sata ports for either nvme or hdd/ssd.

    Case can be old. But you want energy efficient components.

    Some nas setups get expensive.

      So you’re telling me none of the options I gave. The case was one of the components I was going to change because it’s too big for the place I want it to go
