Am deciding if I should go down the NAS route or build myself a SFF.
Main use would be backups and streaming media to the PS3 so I suppose a lot of the functionality of the SFF wouldn't be immediately used. On the SFF side, I'd like to put in 4 3.5" hard drives so are there any SFF cases that will house 4 disks?
Pros of the NAS are that it is compact, self contained and can boot up and down without any other hardware. Pros of the SFF is that I can trans-code on the fly when streaming to the PS3, also can a SFF be turn on/off without having a keyboard/mouse/screen plugged in?
