So long as you don't need to stockpile old shows you never watch, you can get by on an old laptop and possibly an external drive.

My homelab started out on a Raspberry Pi 2b. Most of the hardware Ive brought online were dumpster specials someone else didn't want. It can be done on the cheap. Won't necessarily be reliable, but it can be done cheap.

    I'm in no position to toss to much shade at the data hoarder community. I'm personally sitting on close to 64TB of media I've collected over the years. In my case, most of it legitimately acquired, either by myself or by family, but still. It adds up and most of it hasn't been accessed more than once or twice.
