Hi all, I am new to building out a home system or really any system and could use some advice. My goals are to have a media server for music and movies, as well as could storage for photos. I would like to be able to access it while traveling if possible. In reviewing options I have seen the old computer with some larger drives attached or just simply going with a NAS system. I didn't have anything other than an old 2tb ssd currently. What would you all recommend and is there a NAS system you would recommend? Also how much memory would you recommend? And finally with the insane price of HDD are refurbished drives really an option? Thanks!

I am hoping to get some pointers on the quickest way to earn e credits. I am cash poor right now and there are some vendor guns I want to up my proficiency level. Any advice helpful.
