Hi
I just bought a WD My Book World Edition 1 TB NAS. (my version has
one drive, there is a 2TB raid version too)

Another option is

Acer Aspire Revo R3600 Desktop PC, Atom 230 1.6GHz, 160GB HDD, 1 GB
RAM, HDMI, nVidia GeForce 9400 ION, WIFI, Linux
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/167153 - Now £144.99 inc vat

And an external 1TB usb connected drive.

That combination would be about £220 odd.

Then you can really run your own choice of uPNP server software and a
lot of other things.

Thanks for the replies That is an interesting price comparison!.

One advantage of the ReadyNAS Duo is that it can be programmed to go to
sleep at night, and then wake up. I am not sure if any PC would do that.
It will also spin-down the disks are a period of inactivity.


If you'd like to throw a bunch of money at the solution, I think a Mac
will do it:

I've used a Mac Mini for a while and it works a treat. Usual digital
music caveat applies ;-)
