    I built a small PC based around an Atom powered motherboard to use with FreeNAS, consumes around 15w. Very small footprint too.

      What was the cost vs dedicated £230 NAS for case, mobo, memory, PSU & drives? And how many drives can you fit in a small form factor micro ATX case?

        I love my QNAP TS-410 which gives my 6TB of storage.
