Check your local pcshop. Maybe it's better to buy a new mobo,ram and cpu. Since you already need to buy a sata and gigbit card.

Well, as of yet, the expense difference would be 1 to 3Originally Posted by Koyuki
And I'm with a conventional computer, with noise anoyance as the primary pb, and power consumption the second (psu+mobo+cpu)
On the other hand, having a real full featured OS is nice.
Building a cheap comp is near the price of buying a nas with the features I need...
But in a comp I can easily put 4 disks (provided the mobo has enough sata connectors)
I think I can decrease the cheap pc price by finding packs (mobo+cpu and memory. Case+PSU). I do not even put a CD or DVD in, as all new mobos should be able to boot from usb...
I admitt the idea is growing, still noise is a pb... I have to think about it carefully.
For the noise problem this works like a charm and it's cheap.
Just buy O-rings and cable ties.
i say, grab a few 500gb sata drives and build yourself a cheap system... going to cost as much as a nas system
