I know you're not serious, but doesn't a good review of absolutely any product or movie or book or videogame or tv show equally imply that it was written by the creator of the thing being reviewed?

It was just a particularly glowing review... like you were channeling Bill himself... :D But yes, you're correct, I'm not being serious.
Cakemeister:
I had already made the decision to either get one premade or make one myself. IMO this is a better solution than a NAS. It's just a matter now of saving the money. I would want one with four drive bays for expansion. Right now I back up my documents to my wife's computer, and hers to mine. Not an ideal solution.
ChadTower:
I guess I need to know the hardware this runs on. One of my main motivators, aside from cost, in looking at the home NAS units is power. I'm tired of running the main server 24/7 just to keep content available. If I can move that to a much lower power unit, and still make the content highly available, the rest is gravy.
Cakemeister:
Some of these run on Atom processors (The HP uses a Celeron) and either no video or built-in video. They are designed to use a lot less power than a normal box would, and are most likely quieter.

I don't really care about sound as it would run in my basement - it'd have to be a real clanker to be heard. Might be nice if I could get this going on a machine with a wake-on lan. No need to run it when nobody is around but I'd hate to have to do that manually.
