Any decent standalone media players that are also NAS boxes?

    I have bought a new telly (Samsung LE40A686) and blu-ray player (Samsung BD-P2500) and now I just want to finish off my home entertainment with a media player. Now my blu-ray player puts out a fantastic picture with everything I have thrown at it (really good upscaling chip - some DVD's look almost like high definition, also plays divx and xvid really nicely).

    I had a look at the Popcorn Hour A110 and it looks like a great bit of kit and the only thing that is holding me back is my desire to have a nice NAS box somewhere on my network. So ideally I would like a A110 crossed with a nice nas box like the Qnap TS-209 Pro II (http://www.qnap.com/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=94) or possibly an Icybox NAS.... I am looking at the Qnap box because it can do NZB's...

    Anyone know of a single box solution that comes even close to offering what these two do seperately?

    http://www.egreatusa.com/index.html - is apparently the "hottest" piece of kit to get at the moment.

    If you want both bobined with RAID 0,1, .. then there is no solution I know of. But as the NMT devices are all NAS devices too then the PCH A110, eGreat or iSTAR H5.1 for example will all fit the bill.
