I was looking for a speedier NAS ( QNAP 101 ) and have ended up with the following...

Will dabble in media, SQL, and NAS duties that I can think of.

All look ok?

Well that is certainly a pretty damn powerful NAS?! Could run a gaming rig off that if you put in a decent GFX card.

It lives!

Zero problems putting it together.

Things I liked straight away. Very quiet case, I had to check the fans were on. Wireless usb even worked in the bios. HDMI worked with my projector with no adjustment. Almost Mac like

A few rushed pictures as it was open....

nice. Looks weird having no graphic card in there and such a small heatsink... looks a little overkill
