An IoT hub doesn't need a flippin xeon xD

A Pi is plenty.

 

And what are you planing to do with the NAS?

Usually a cheap atom/celeron is more than enough.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

This will chew power. Get ready for 20+ more a month in power.

 

Why not just buy this

cheaper and faster

 

Also, don't get a wifi card for a server, use wired.

look around ebay and craigs list, normally cheaper.

 

Also you get drives, a case, heatsinks, a raid card, drac, and lots of other goodies.

lol its realllly cheap

True, and as @Electronics Wizardy said, the powerbill won't be cheap...

Power consumption really is a big deal when you are planning to run a system 24/7.

Especially older parts like the cpu you mentioned aren't exactly power efficient during idle.

I mean the power would not be to bad assuming that it isn't running full load 24/7   That was wrong it would be about 20ish a month as stated above. 

My Work in Progress PC http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/522048-xeon-build/ <-- That PC was built but never booted:(

My Work in Progress PC 2.0 https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/540583-xeon-build-20-code-name-xenox (Hopefully this one boots.)

I have one, its about 250w idle without drives and about 350 under load. These are hot.

I take back my statement just did a some calculations at it would add about 18.5ish bucks of power a month.
