This is an interesting box, but the big limit is the lack of dual (or
more) disks, since if I build a home NAS box, it's going to have RAID
for sure.

I'm thinking one of those VIA Epia motherboards (1ghz, fan less) with
a pair of big disks mirrored would be a good home NAS box, esp with a
SCSI controller, my DLT tape drive and bacula.  The only issue is
Mysql performance on disks like this, since Bacula is heavy on the
DB.  Putting in four disks, two RAID1 sets, could work wonders.

But gets a bit crazy.  :]
