I think I may have to revisit this topic after the holidays. I'm keeping my eye out on possibly upgrading my server, and may have to look into this a bit more as every months I get more and more annoyed as to how much we're spending on streaming services (still cheaper than cable, but still).

What is the cost for a lifetime account/setup to any of the providers you're using?

Also, where have you been shopping for your NAS related stuff? I'm not looking to spend thousands on a homelab, or anything. While the NAS itself isn't so bad, most of them come diskless, and that's where you're going to end up spending a small fortune on disk space.

Nick
