Hey low, I was thinking about doing something similar. If I just picked up an Atom 220, would that be enough horsepower for a NAS? You can find complete packages for <200 ION based. Couple different varieties out there even, with PSU's etc, too...

How much are those HD's going to pull on a cold boot? I had a 650W Corsair PS that could not handle 16HD's on a cold boot. System had to start twice in order to boot. Even then the MB acted strange. One PCI slot decided to stop working.
Replaced PS with 850W, PCI slot worked again and boot's on first try now. 650W is now in another computer working perfectly fine.

I have read that some Sata HDD's can suck as much as 33W on a cold boot.

Well there is this feature called staggered spinup which should alieviate high current draws at startup. BTW i am assuming the per5/i supports staggered spinup lowfat.

Yup. Damn near all RAID cards these days do.

Ahhh good reason to get that. Unfortunately the MB I am using doesn't have that feature.
Gotta pick up one of those cards someday.

I thought just after posting...but if he is using staggered starting...PS will be a none issue.

So i pulled the trigger on the parts minus the HDD (next pay).

I am getting the following.

ASUS M2N68-AM SE2
Perc5/i
AMD Athlon x2 x7550
2GB G.skill DDR 2
Compucase RA455A00
Kingwin KF-4000-BK
Corsair VX550W PSU

I was able to price match it so it came out under $600 :D
