CentOS - Sep 2008 - OT: Home NAS device

I am looking for something that I can hack away like a NSLU2 but that thing only
has one disc
and worst of all its 100m interface. Anyone know of a device you can load Linux
on that has
maybe 2 discs like a NAS200 with a gig nic? I need a quiet device to act as a
tftp-dhcp/web/dns
system.

I thought of just building one from a new Soekris board, or even a mini itx but
hope there was
something simpler/cheaper.

Thanks for any reco's!

The problem I see with going the all-in-one NAS route is that down the 
road, there's always some function you'd like to add - but you
can't.
You've hit the limitations of the box.

Or even micro-ATX. I saw recently that AMD came out with a clocked-down 
  Athlon. The total package wattage was projected to be lower than 
Intel's Atom. If I can find that link . . . . .

. . . here it is:
