Posted July 15, 2018 So I have a week of my summer break when I have nothing planned. I hope to do something for around $300. I was thinking about building a server (that thingy with hard drives so that I can dump files on it. I am most definitely am open to other ideas. I can't use this money for upgrades. I have no idea how to build a server so if I decide on building one I may ask for help. Maybe something with networking? idk. Any ideas?
