Mini ITX NAS

I've been racking my brains recently and searching the net for ideas on a NAS build.

This is what I've selected so far:
Mobo - Asrock A330ION
Memory - 1GB or maybe 2GB DDR3 ??
HDD - 2 x WD 2TB SATAII Caviar Green
HDD - 1 x WD 160GB 2.5" Scorpio Blue for OS
Slimline DVD/RW
Case - Lian-li A01
OS - either WHS or Freenas ??

How does the above sound?

If I go for WHS what drivers do I use, I've read that XP drivers will probably work.

Any ideas or comments would be appreciated.

Where are you planning on getting the A01 from? Or is this something you already have?

I purchased one from X-Case, they had some in the clearance section that they had found knocking around the warehouse, it's a really nice little case.

How about using unRaid?

Hm, just been reading about unRaid on the Lime Tech web page, it looks interesting, I might just try it out, it's free so how bad can it get?

They still appear to have some in stock
