Cheapest option, if you're any way handy and if it's possible, flash your router with ddwrt and just add a usb hdd to the router.

i got this months ago, solid performer for streaming 1080p content http://www.dabs.ie/products/zyxel-nsa320-2-bay-power-nas-appliance-7BFV.html?src=3
i have 3 old 500gb hdds plugged in as well as an external drive. I disconnect the internal fan and the temps are fine, so you will only hear the vibration of a hdd being accessed
