Low-end iSCSI NAS

[Morgan Storey]

Fair enough, my only reason for suggesting those is everyone has some spare
old computer lying around that can do the job.
Haven't used qnap, but I have used a few http://www.thecus.com/ nas's, they
have a good community and are very customisable, running busybox last time I
played with them.
