Nvidia ION or Core i3 for 24/7 file server?

[somewhatdamaged]

Does anyone which would use less power? It's just going to host files, nothing else

I want it to be as cheap as possible to run. Will hold 6 x Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB drives

thanks

Hi chaps,

Ive got an lsi megaraid 8308elp controller card for the hdds.

Ideally all the machine will be used for is as a NAS for my pictures and videos etc (to be accessed from XBMC)

Maybe some downloading from newsgroups during the day as well
