DIY NAS bundles ?

stylie

Hi,

Anyone ever see a NAS bundle ? I have built PC's and enjoyed the the research that goes into it but cant say the same for a NAS. Is there anyplace that does bundles ? or should I start a thread here looking for people to spec it for me

Thanks

Solid basis for a nas, just add harddrives and an OS....

It even better value here considering the cash back

HP N40L + 5 x 2TB HDs is the way to go.

and a 4 sata port pci card.

the problem is finding a PSU that will deal with the spin up power draw yet still be low enough watts.
