This is my solution for a DIY NAS (which I actually use and have used for years) - get the cheapest CPU+RAM+MOBO combination you can find (a mainboard with onboard video and at least 6 SATA ports is preferable) - get a well ventilated big comuter case, one that will have slots for 10-12 HDDs/opti

Hi LJG I am in a similar position to you. The posts that your entry follows are quite old and I suspect that the market is changing very rapidly. Not long ago a NAS seemed to be a "mini-server" and cost a couple of limbs - without a hard-disk installed! More recently, it looks to me as though man

I Second the vote for the Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Plus. Officially supported by Logitech and fast. Do not get the ReadyNAS Duo if you want to stream any format that requires transcoding to the Touch (it's too slow). Actually, forget the Duo for anything other than basic file sharing. -- Lugie
