[QUOTE="Enigma_2k4, post: 97948, member: 631"] Hi all, I have one of these lying around at home: [url=http://www.sybaritic.co.za/store/product_info.php?cPath=50_51&products_id=39991]http://www.sybaritic.co.za/store/product_info.php?cPath=50_51&products_id=39991[/url] Now I am considering building myself a little NAS box with a BT client using it. 1. What's the best way to go about it? 2. What size mobo fits in this little monster? 3. I have an old AMD Athlon 300+ CPU, any chance I could use that to reduce costs? However, offhand I think a atom machine would be best. 4. What linux OS could/should I use? 5. How do I make it really power efficeint? 6. How can I make it shut down the HDD's when not in use (I'd boot into the OS off a flash) I do know that the cheapest and probably smartest option is to just get one of these: [url=http://www.prophecy.co.za/cfigroup-cfib8283er-8bay-external-enclosure-with-raid-support-p-72187.html]8 bay RAID NAS for 3k[/url] [/QUOTE]
