There's a tipping point for both, naturally.
I won't go for a full PC option for power concerns (though for price,
surely that's the way to go).
I simply can't spend more than around $300.

I looked at this first, actually.
It's not expandable at all. I feel a bit like it's a dead-end solution.
I suppose I should have included life-cycle and waste-time in my criteria.
I think it's pretty straightforward to put up to four four-bay enclosures
on the NSLU2 (though that would be insane). Also, I have a pair of 300GB
IDE drives and the DNS-323 only takes SATA.
