PI5 4GB – £58.50
SD card – £8.29
WD Red 2TB * 3 – £102 total
WD Red 4TB – £69.41
2.5" to 3.5" drive adapter * 2 – £11.98 total
80mm fan * 3 – £26.97 total
Fan power splitter – £0.94
Power brick – £9.87
Molex splitter – £2.17
SATA pwer splitter – £0.81
ATX starter – £0.56
Pico Power supply – £9.43
Enclosure – £10.87
SATA controller card – £11.47
Total – £323.27
Can you provide approximate cost for the project?
