I am using a QNAP TS-110 and it works well. I am very happy with it in fact. But I have to agree with John that a Vortexbox is much easier and better (from what I have read - I don't have any actual experience). I went the NAS route because I believed that it would be the cheapest solution to a server. The QNAP TS-110 is about the cheapest NAS I could find that seems to be able to host a Squeezebox server. But if I had it to do over again, I would definitely look into one of the Intel ATOM based computers. It looks to me like you could get one for the same or less money than the NAS I bought, and it would be more powerful and easier to set up. The NAS wasn't too bad to set up. I made it through the process and I am pretty much a computer idiot. But it is not for the timid either. There are instructions on the QNAP web site. You can look at them and decide if the process sounds like something you could do. I have a desktop PC that I can use for ripping, so the Vortexbox (which includes the CD ROM drive and software to rip with) wasn't necessary to me. Vortexbox is a nice, all wrapped up, easy to use package, but not the cheapest solution. Of course, if you are a bit more brave, and cost is a big issue, the Squeezeplug, Sheevaplug or any of those "plug" devices has got to be the cheapest way to go.
