NAS advice anyone?

Hi Richard,

Thanks for taking the time to post that, I am sure it will be a reference for others in the future looking at the same dilema. I looked into freenas last year, but the running cost of another full PC put me off. If only the cheap electric I was told we would all have now at school would be a reality!

I went for the pi as it's so economical to run XBMC with and it's been great. I hope my next house will run off of solar/wind so I need to think now about all appliances I buy.

I am still thinking of the Zyxel and a pair of WD red 3Tb drives. It should do me for now and if in the future things improve I might look at a PC based system, but for movies and music I think it'll do.

Love the photos you posted, glad I don't have to pay your electric bill though! ;-)
