Hey Robbie,
Saw your recent video on the Kickstarter NAS, and had an idea (I know, full of em
.
There are tons of second had ex enterprise rackmount 4/8/12 bay NAS systems on eBay, FB Marketplace, or local technology recyclers. They are slow, old, and frankly aren't selling well, so get thrown out, or hopefully recycled.
The idea was, what IF, you make a video on how to use a similar N5105 mobo from Ali Express, and replace the heart of one of these. This may inspire people to go out and try and save these old beasts.
I realise you're out here trying to make a living, but perhaps that maybe a service you can offer local to the UK. You still get paid for your time, but ultimately, saving the planet from more ewaste and making quite a few people quite happy.
Thoughts?
Cheers
Dmitry
