I'm flogging an Iomaga Storcenter iX2 if you are interested, used to be crap and slow over my network but is not too bad now after a firmware update (a lot slower than a Microserver though). 2 x 1TB raid, media streaming, print server etc. 50 quid posted (or maybe a wee bit more for postage, will have to see as its heavy).
EDITED, actually, looking at the price i'd get for the Storcenter, decided not to sell as the 2 TB disks in it are worth more than that themselves at the moment so will just dismantle it for the drives.
Also flogging an HP Compaq ML115 server with upgraded disks and ram, 70 quid, pickup only.Comment

I have the dlink 320 - capable of supporting 2 drives (only got one in atm) and it's in my garage and I use the homeplug with a couple of short ethernet cables to rig it up.... works fine
All in (homeplugs and all) a tad over 100 + vatAny sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magicComment

Works fine as a central file storage and media server. Also does torrent and allows cloud access although not done any of that with it.

Need to consider a new one soon, though, as I've only got 350GB free.Comment

The D-Link DNS-343 4 bay NAS for £119.98 @ Dabs looks an interesting comparably priced alternative to the HP Microserver for those wanting something a bit more plug and play.
D-Link 4-Bay SATA NAS Storage (DNS-343) - dabs.comFeist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

Bet there is something to delete or compress in that 5Tb of data.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment
