Since you posted on openbsd list, I suppose you wonna use openbsd. You seem to be not shy of spending some bucks on the security of the content, so there is ano- ther option to look for: http://www.qnap.com/useng/index.php?lang=en-us&sn=862&c=355&sc=526&t=694&n=12501 Personally, I'd go after cheaper solution in the same tribe. Some older model, if available. If you build your own box, that might prove itself better. I always do it. The very question is to find proper applications to fulfil your needs. Best regards Zoran
