hi guys, I have been looking into extra storage for my home network, for streaming music and video. At this point I really can't afford a nice NAS. What I would like to do is, build one out of an old computer. I have a old HP, Pentium 3. It's 550 mhrz with 128 RAM. I also have two 320 gig IDE hardrives. Is there a way I could set up a RAID 1 on this thing pretty cheap. I would be hooking it up through my router. The old comp has windows xp, as do all my other networked comps.

Thanks in advance
