My parents' old PC. Circa 2011 motherboard with 2x 4TB spinning rust drives via SATA and an SSD plugged into a USB port to boot TrueNAS. 16GB RAM iirc. Only aftermarket part is a 1gig ethernet PCIe card. For basic file storage, pihole+wireguard termination inside VMS, and occasional one to two user streaming, it does the job fine. My biggest gripe is power usage; it probably makes fiscal sense to do a build from scratch just to bring down the power consumption.
