go pre-configured, saves you headaches in the long run.

costco desktop

NAS is usually for one of two reasons, simple backups with the expectation that your computer and your NAS will never break at the same time, or your NAS as your SHTF backup for multiple machines, family pics and videos and will grow over the years.

this is the 2nd one, if you do any video downloading this thing ROCKS, since you can turn off the PC and the NAS will do the downloading and the iTunes server, you can even use it to hook in security cameras. its hotswappable hard drives, 4 bays for upgrading, so you start off with a couple of 750's, then when you see something on sale at frys, you buy another one, once your at 4, you should be good for a year or two. my manager actually ripped over 100 movies to his, and watches them on his big screen in the living room off a media server..

THECUS NAS

I should note that we currently have a Dell 24" monitor, maybe grab another or keep it attached to the laptop dock and get a new one for the desktop? (Ultrasharp widescreen HD 2408WFP)

The intent of the NAS is basically a poor-man's file server.

Well, California just passed a new law. Believing that you will engage in dangerous activities or in criminal behavior, you will now have to wait 10 days to pick up your CPU. Assuming you pass the, "Prove You Are Not A Creep" Check.

Nice..

You have someone doing the build for you, or are you going to stick the color coded items together?

Elrcastor is local and said he'd lend a hand. Hope everything works together well under win7.
