You'd be surprised by how much PC you can get for way less than the 1200€ that you said the Synology box would cost. This person was able to snag a very competent base system for a NAS for under 300€, and in another video they walk through how to build one from scratch using mostly standard parts
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/N8fWIh1V-YM

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Ah cool. I will check this out. Its been a long time since i build my own pc. But i guess the basics stay the same. Can always strip one of the lenovos
I would bet that you probably couldn't take any parts from a device like a Lenovo m600. They don't use standard parts.
Can use the ssd, memory and maybe the processor
The M600 uses soldered-on mobile CPUs and SODIMMs for RAM. You won't be able to remove the CPU and the RAM is the wrong form factor for 99+% of desktop motherboards. You're right that you can use the SSD, but I wouldn't, given how cheap NVMe drives have gotten these days. You can get really great 2TB drives for under 100€.
I could use the ssd for cache mem in a qnap or synology. I dunno, i basicly wanted to use the thinkcenter as a mb for hdd. Say an upgraded version of a nas which have way less mem capability or cpu. But after watching those vids maybe best to go for something new and not refurbished. Now in”just” have to choose what for what price. I was originaly gonna buy a dell san or something refurbished but thats going to a whole other level and cost way more time.
