This is my NK4(ish) build. It’s going to be running Unraid and will function as my off-site backup target for important docs and system files. Prices are all CAD, tax and delivery included. Anything in brackets shows my current market/budget price, but not yet purchased. Most items have been sourced off ebay, coming from China.
