FrankenNAS?

Alright, its not the project. The project is ready to be sanded and painted, which will take a bit of time.

In the meantime, I'm thoroughly fed up with my headless server sitting next to my plasma/PS3. Its got 1TB external HDD's all over it, and its starting to look like Medusa's hair with all the cables snaking over it.

Im out of HDD space AGAIN, and Its completly disorganized, requires a whole 8 socket powerboard for itself, and its running... XP. But a customized XP, if that makes it any better.

Ive sucked it up and forked out for 3 x 2TB HDDS (for a start, im anticipating ending up at 8 x 2TB when i have more disposable income) and I plan to be running a RAID 5 array shortly.

So tonight, while im recovering from the damn flu, im playing around with FreeNAS on a Virtual Machine. Looking pretty good currently!
