I recently came across the ADS NAS enclosure with BT client for only 35$. Upon reading the reviews I see that it is not only extraordinarily slow, but alos the BT client sucks pretty bad. What other <100$ alternatives are there for a NAS enclsoure that has built in BT support? I HATE leaving my computer on all night to download stuff as my electric bill has gotte QUITE high. Oh, and I'd prefer and enclsoure with IDE connection. Thanks!
If you have an old computer, you may turn it into a NAS with torrent support. FreeNAS can be used for this - although its not integrated with the GUI yet i believe.
A lot of retail NAS products are lacking in performance and features; building one yourself gives you more control and saves money, but does imply you spend more time on the solution. So if you just want something to work quickly a good retail NAS product might suit your needs, but will be more expensive than the D-I-Y option.
