Also, rackmount case ftw. Even if I don't have the rack (why are they so expensive?) :)

Yus! Rackmount FTW! You can find cheap racks or even free racks using sites like kijiji (canada) or even ebay. Only problem is shipping but if it's not fare and you have a truck then it's worth it. Why buy new when you can get used for 1/10 the cost?!?

I live in Lithuania, so buying a rack on ebay from another country would most likely be more expensive than buying a new one locally. And I cannot find where they sell used racks locally. Maybe I will find someday...

Keep an eye on call centers and what not.. Normally when they close they tend to leave the racks behind.. Just ask if they want to get ride of it and take it.
I've been looking for a rack for sometime and the only place that I can get them is 14h drive away... road trip!

@K7IA, It's 16TB. :]

Its actually not 16TB more like 14TB when you count space lost for redundancy in RAID5

Already seen it :P
No not worth having a NAS imo.
With eSata being on more an more mobo's it's becomming cheaper to just hang one to your pc :p
eSata unit that is ;)
Nas is only more fun when you want to share with everbody in a house who's connected to the network :P
Still it's and awesome build for it's power consumption ;)
