Hi,

Great great guide ... but I was so sure I would buy a Zotac Zbox ... and postpone the purchase of a NAS...

But since I read this thread, I'm so not sure anymore

I'm concerned about the case, I'd rather prefere something like the Antec NSK2480 but it can't hold enough disks...

Looks to me that the Rosewill RS-MI-01 BK isn't WAF enough :-(

But great post thanks for the work !

(I used to configure my ubuntu server with HellaNZB, it automaticly check's a folder for nzb files. And I also installed a plugin onto thunderbird to extract nzb attachments of a specifi mail account to that folder - was a great setup also for automaticly acquire movies)

It was really hard to find a case that I could squeeze enough hard drives into but still be small enough to hide it somewhere. When I originally bought the case though, money was a big factor in my purchase decision. In the future I plan on swapping it out for this case. as it looks a lot cleaner and has hot-swap bays.

The thing I love about Sabnzbd is that not only will it monitor folders, but it will download the NZB files from an RSS feed, start the download, extract them, sort them based on file type, delete the temporary files and has a plugin for Firefox that will send any NZB files directly to your server, even if you're at work. If it gets any easier I'm going to have to dump these 1 TB drives in favor of the 2 TB ones!!
