Looking to see if anyone has a NAS in the MM, but I'm mulling the idea also if maybe using my old PC, but not sure if it'd be a bit power hungry.

It's an Xeon X3350 with 8GB DDR2 and a 520W PSU, could this be a good system to turn into a NAS or a bit power hungry?
 
If I spend 350 on the NAS how long would it be untill I spent the extra 350 on electric on the PC compared to the NAS?
