[QUOTE="Johan, post: 97991, member: 80"] I'm also interested in building my own NAS, I have read however that the chap that made FreeNas is now working on a new project located here: http://blog.openmediavault.org/ Apparently much more support for newer technologies and vendors like Realtek will be included. I started to gather some spares to build my NAS: Intel Gardendale H67 Board - to be swapped by supplier once Sandy issue has been resolved Corsair 4GB Ram (overkill but alas so cheap!) Core i5 2500k Lian-Li A04 Chassis - up to 7x 3.5" HDD 350 W Powersupply The CPU and Ram is overkill in the above specs, the reason is that this setup will be used as a normal workstation for the time and then the CPU transferred to a high end setup once this Sandy issue has been resolved and decent motherboards become available. Also the Core i3 entry level processors should be available at that time as well. This also gives me some time to get some HDD's....looking at 4x2TB in the interim. The OS will be running off a small 80GB HDD i have laying around. [/QUOTE]
