[Discuss] DIY NAS

[matt.kowalski at gmail.com (Matthew Kowalski)]

Greetings,

I've had success with the Synology DS1511+ units in the past, which to
my knowledge run busybox, but I was considering building my own to
reduce the cost.  Has anyone had any success building their own 4-5
bay NAS units?  I've looked at FreeNAS which certainly has all the
services I need but I'm not sure the best route to go with regards to
form factor, etc.

Thanks,
Matt
