Where buy ex corporate hardware (ideally aus, but intl shipping ok)? I only know where to find drives. Have been meaning to build a NAS but am financially restrained.

    I usually browse craigslist, but in larger cities there are usually companies that handle warehousing and selling of old hardware when company IT does a full office upgrade. FWIW, I use old workstation hardware because it is usually less finicky and power hungry than rack hardware.
