Thanks for your suggestion Adam.

Couple of points here:

1) I would be building my own WMS server from spare parts ( total out

of pocket is $99 for the OS license and DVD, which is far cheaper

2) I need lots of storage space ( 10 TB easily ) - I don't think most

NAS solutions can come near this figure.
