If you’ve built your own RAID 5 NAS, post a comment, or send an email to [email protected] and tell me the components you used, how much it cost and why you did it instead of buying an off-the-shelf NAS. If you’ve got pictures, send ’em in, too.

If I get enough responses, I’ll pull the best ones into an article. Thanks!

But good people also tend to be busy people who don't have the hours that it takes to research and prepare they kind of in-depth articles and reviews that we do. On the other hand, you do have the time to visit SmallNetBuilder regularly and I'd like to have fresh stuff for you to read each time you visit.
