Re: NAS - build or buy?

It's pretty much what's in the original article, few things upgraded, eg the mobo is one category up (A88 chipset) because the a55's were all out.
It's a tad dearer at $728.74 with 2x3TB drives. Here's the full list:
AB53929 Silverstone Black Precision PS09 Micro-ATX Case 1 1 $52.00 $52.00
AA49222 Silverstone Strider Essential Series ST50F-ES 500W Power Supply 1 1 $59.00 $59.00
AB53530 AMD A4-4000 Dual-Core Socket FM2 3.2GHz CPU Processor 1 0 $45.00 $45.00
AB53179 ASUS A88XM-A FM2+ Motherboard 1 1 $105.00 $105.00
AA62924 Kingston DT SE9 16GB USB Flash Drive (DTSE9H/16GB) 1 1 $11.32 $11.32
AB53711 Kingston 8GB (1x 8GB) DDR3 1600MHz DIMM Memory 1.35v KVR16LN11/8 1 1 $100.64 $100.64
AA22678 Western Digital WD30EFRX WD 3TB Red 3.5” IntelliPower SATA3 NAS Hard Drive 2 2 $164.99 $329.98
I'm not sure if I'll go freeNAS or unRaid, but leaning towards unRaid, I'm reading good things about it, and I can just put in another 3TB drive or two and extend the capacity....
Edit: it's all from mWave, I wanted to get it all in one place.
