I hear you about groceries and inflation. Wol pushed me to build my
first one just using an old computer. I had an old machine - case,
power supply with a bad motherboard so I purchased an  i3-2120 CPU @
3.30GHz motherboard with 8GB memory used at a computer store for $40.
Surprisingly that's more than enough CPU & memory for basic backups.
No matter what you're going to have to pay for the drives whether they
go in your box, in external cases or in a backup machine.

I only turn it on to do backups or to retrieve data so not much electricity.
