hi, i hope you guys can help me out.
i what to reduce the number of disks in my main computer, To reduce noise, and power consum. (have 7 disks)
Since i use the data on more then one computere at the same time, a USB disk is not an option.
so i googled for some reviews on NAS (network attached storage),
and discovered a free program calld FreeNAS (www.freenas.org),
so i tryd to build a small, cheap and low power usage, computer, i come up with 2 systems to use.
Intel-System 1:
Mainbord - ASUS P5PE-VM
CPU - Celeron D 336 2.8 GHz
System Driv - 1 x SDM SD-ADIDE2CF-B1 and 1 x Kingston CF 1 GB
Controller - Promise SATA300 TX4
Network - onbord (1Gbit)
price in Denmark 1517 kr. (274.32$ USD)
AMD-System 2:
Mainbord - MSI K8MM3-V
CPU - Sempron 2800+ 1.6 GHz
System Driv - 1 x SDM SD-ADIDE2CF-B1 and 1 x Kingston CF 1 GB
Controller - Promise SATA300 TX4
Network - D-Link DGE 528T (1Gbit)
Price in Denmark 1550 kr (280.28$ USD)
I have a Spare power supply and RAM i can use, and i want to build a case my self, for this 2.
i also have a look at this:

Synology - CS-407e - Price 3678 kr. (665.09$ USD)
