I hear you about groceries and inflation. Wol pushed me to build my |
| 32 |
first one just using an old computer. I had an old machine - case, |
| 33 |
power supply with a bad motherboard so I purchased an i3-2120 CPU @ |
| 34 |
3.30GHz motherboard with 8GB memory used at a computer store for $40. |
| 35 |
Surprisingly that's more than enough CPU & memory for basic backups. |
| 36 |
No matter what you're going to have to pay for the drives whether they |
| 37 |
go in your box, in external cases or in a backup machine. |

I only turn it on to do backups or to retrieve data so not much electricity. |
