Just built a NAS from an Asus m3a78-MC, Phenom 2 x4 920, 8gb of ddr2800 and an old case. my Desktop pc is only one gen newer on the motherboard from Gigabyte (990FX-UD3) and 2 gens newer on Processor (8350) with a 560ti, and 16gb of DDR3. the NAS cost $75 for all the parts listed in the last month ($17 cpu, $38 mobo, $20 memory). The desktop was probably $400 for the parts when they were new ($135 mobo, $230 CPU, $50 memory). Right now going just a few years back gets you gobs of processing power for very little. But of course its all relative, in another 10 years these DDR2 based systems might seem quite slow. |
