If you're thinking about buying a NAS
Aimhere:
I also have a NAS (Synology) used almost exclusively for media storage. 16TB internal capacity (well, 12TB with RAID parity), plus 32TB (!) in USB storage via hubs. No way a little Id could compete with that.
I bought a little compact-tower Core i3 PC that tucks away neatly behind my home theater TV monitor, and runs MC as both a server and a playback client.
IMO an Id would be enough to cover the basics for many users, but given that a lot of MC users are more along the lines of "power user" when it comes to their HTPC setups, a NAS and a dedicated server make more sense for the latter.
JimH:
I don't think that most of our customers would consider themselves power users. For most, 2TB would be plenty of storage.
DarkPenguin:
I bought an ASUS DeskMini 110. Put a pentium 4600 (I think) in it. Tiny machine but still takes a full sized HSF. That would be the main problem with it. It makes a nice linux server/nas/hypervisor but is mighty loud for a media player.

If you are no power user, why would you choose jrmc? I'm seriosly interested, because I thought "normal" users would prefer kodi & plex and thus recommend that to my circle of friends and acquaintances.
The 2TB are good if they are focused on audio. If they hoard series or movies thats much to little.
