NAS suggestions

[CHONG Yu Meng]

In Singapore, buying certain NAS models is cheaper than building a PC. I 
use an Iomega ix2, but connect it to a server as a iSCSI device (I found 
that running it as a NAS was actually quite slow and would hang from 
time to time). As an iSCSI device, it actually gives pretty good 
performance and it is small, quiet and cool.
