Ooof. 47 months. I should rethink my setup.

This is merely ROI, it doesn't capture things like watching what you want.

I started from needing a server for mobile devices to sync to, music, general file storage, and some virtual machines for testing stuff.

That put me at about 1TB. I already had a bunch of DVDs that I wanted to watch more conveniently, so I just upped the storage and started converting my own stuff.

So my setup isn't just for media/replacing subscriptions - that a knock on effect.

Still this is a nice calculator for me to better visualize what things actually cost.
