NAS Box

[Punisher]

Hi!
Someone want me to build a NAS Box for him. I'll be using freeNAS but I need a pc to make run everything
I need something cheap but with a good performance/price ratio. Something between 0$ and 200$ (Something for 0 $ would be awesome )
It will be use by roughly 6 people and mostly only documents, so nothing too much powerfull needed
500 GB will be enough for everything, but I want to be able to upgrade storage if needed

Im living in Canada so canadian prices are betters

Pieces needed:

Mobo
CPU
Ram
Case
HDD

Thanks!

You aren't going to build one for $200. Best you can hope to do on that budget is get a pre-assembled, dedicated NAS box.

Okay then, so what is the cheapest thing I can build?
Its for a small buisness, so the cheapest and the best bang for the buck is what I need
From what I know, freeNas ain't very demanding on the CPU, but it use a lot of ram, so good quality ram would be the best deal.
Else I can look from reusing a old PC. Might be the solution

That was suggested in my post a little ways down. That doesn't include HHD's either.

From what I've ran, FreeNAS uses very little RAM.

Does this build would be a suitable NAS?

And I think its all

Seems fine, but maybe you'd be better off by spending a bit more on the case, something like the bitfenix prodigy would be much much better and easier to build in plus gets you better cooling apart from that maybe 8GB ram altough I have no idea if its needed.
