    What price range gives me something better? The setup you recommend is £425 which is Eur630. Seems a lot for 1Gb.

    You mean 1TB yeah?

    Well it depends, are you looking for huge performance and redundancy, or just a box to stick somewhere to stream media around the house? As if its the latter it would be easier, and a better solution to build a cheap pc from spare parts you have, and get 2 massive hdds.

    This has
    1TB
    USB Print Server
    FTP Server (Access from the interweb)
    ITUNES Streaming Server
    RAID1

    Attaches to my switch and hey presto. Unless there are any better suggestions than this I think I'm sorted.
