I was thinking about buying a NAS box and loading that up with a few more HDD’s

If you do consider a HP N40L Microserver. They can make a very good NAS (most AIO, chipset based NAS don’t go anywhere near saturating a gig link)

Yeah that’s what mine is, or the previous model.  Absolute beast and much cheaper than off-the-shelf products.

Cords I just bought a raw HDD, so not a USB in a case style.  Bought it from the Chinese PC shop down the road from my work, slotted it in my PC chassis, formatted it and away it ran.  I have yet to sit down and arrange all my stuff across the 3 HDD’s I have in there yet.  I was thinking about buying a NAS box and loading that up with a few more HDD’s as I have 600gb a month DL limit for $50 and generally can pull a 1.5gb movie down in 20-30 mins.

NTHN check out QNAP they little pricy but they are very good nas system and good support if you ever need.

Nice one, a hell of a lot more versatile as well. I know of many people who use them as HTPC’s

We got the cover throw in for free. It’s the Weber cover designed to cover the BBQ and rolling cart. $50 RRP. You can get the cover for just the BBQ for $25.

I will have to look into that, Hammo.
