    A cheap used office computer with a good CPU and decent RAM can far exceed the power of a Pi. That’s been my strategy. I just Frankenstein it a bit with leftover parts from my gaming computer and load it up with disks.

      Ditto. My current server has the MoBo + CPU of a friend’s old all-in-one, the case of an old HTPC, RAM from a trashcan, and big fat platters.
