That's one reason I like the Vortexbox setup so much. With an Atom
processor and 2GB of RAM, it uses very little power. I leave mine on
24/7. Yet, it is very responsive to the Touch (and my 3 other
Squeezeboxes) and shows no hesitation when looking for or playing music.
I've got right at 55,000 songs in my collection and the Vortexbox
doesn't miss a beat. The price is right, too, if you build your own. I
built my Foxconn for about $200 and the OS is a free download. 

I'm not sure why one would want a NAS instead unless there are a lot of
non-music storage plans for it.
