I *really* want a lightweight NAS server that's powerficient and
quiet. I tried building one but that failed due to financial
restraints. I tried finding an external unit for the Mac but they are
all USB 2.0. This would fit the bill perfectly. I'd be looking for
around #200-250 GBP and 4 drive bays.
