Homemade NAS box

I was pricing the parts to build a little network storage box, and these AMD price drops have really made that sort of thing easier. I have yet to add in the price of the storage drives, but I've put together a solid little work computer for about $390 - shipping. No gaming ability or real upgrade route, but that isn't really the point of this kind of system. I'm posting this mainly to show what can be done with the current price structure and niche OSs like FreeNAS, but comments are of course welcome.
