I have a cluster of $100 Lenovo mini PCs that I've been using for 5 years now. The hobby doesn't have to be expensive.

Until you get to storage. I'll admit, I dropped $4500 on VM and Media storage a few years back. But that should still last me a few more years before that fills up!

Sadly for me, my region is terrible for buying any kind of tech, so its been quite expensive. Still better than most hobbies however! Storage really hurts tho yeah, its never enough (never enough RAM either).

"Should" is doing some serious work in your last statement.

As someone with ~72 TB of raw storage.... Heh. Good luck.

12 TB raw SSD and 200 TB of raw spinning rust. :D

I hope that's enough...

Like I said, good luck
