now i am coming to the conclusion i needa nas since my HDD in my 87U is just not working the way i hoped it would, and i've been looking at buying cheap PC's or like a dual core computer from Ebay UK.

Now what other options do i have because 2 drive's is SO not enough for me, i was going to add the 6 HDD's i've got from my computer since i don't ever use them thanks to my 2 840 Pro's.

Willing to look up to £90 and stretch £100 but i am not interested in cloud rubbish or addon, just a large storage box, which i can connect to my router and use a media server for my tablets and computer to play back downloaded and home movies.

why, i mean as i said buy an old dell Dual core and use the extra pci lane to add more sata ports maybe to make a 6 drive nas, but the problem would be the case i guess.

£130 by the looks of it which is Too much for this.
