HTPC and NAS advice

[MartinQ]

My Sky+ box died last week so I went ahead and upgraded to SkyHD and bought a Panny 42".

The next step is NAS to centrally store the movies, music and photos from the desktop and laptops. The budget is tight on this one, so I'm thinking about this:

Any comments?

Regarding the HTPC, I'm after a basic machine that'll run Windows 7 - so that'll be 1GHz and 1GB. Any recommendations for this? I've found some refurbs for less than £100, but I'd need to get a HDMI PCI card.

HTPC - I'd look a the Zotac Z-Box HD ID11. Only an Atom CPU, but an NVIDIA Ion 2 GPU for video decoding.

Just add memory, HDD and Windows 7. Built one for a friend and it works a treat - very compact, quiet and low power.
