[QUOTE="xicaque, post: 291904, member: 23830"] I'll echo what white light said on the cloud. You are basically renting virtual space. I like my stuff within reach and regardless of the government snooping into my network, not that I have classified stuff or such, the cloud concept still very new to society. Google u-nas. They make the 8 bay case. I am very happy with it. When I first got my qnap 4 bay, that one was about 800 or so w/o hdd. It was just barely hitting the market so price was high. Building my own was cheaper for the 8 bay w/o hdd's. It was a fun project since it was my first time with computers. I even built my son a PC. DIY is the way to go with NAS and PCs. All the hardware I used is server grade. Don't cut corners or you'll pay the price. Freenas is very powerful (first time using it), it has a unique error correcting algorithm.
