That reminds me. What type of cable would I need to a)link a wired squeezebox3 to a qnap? I know fifer mentions ethernet but is that all I have to ask for when I go into somewhere like pcworld or order it online? b)link the qnap to a non wireless netgear dg834 router to copy files across? Also will having long lengths of either affect performance of the unit unduly? I'm thinking of having a qnap tucked in the corner out of the way and just having the sb connected on the stand. Also think a longer cable to connect qnap to the router might be a better (ie less hassle for me!)than unplugging and moving into the pc room. One last thing, I know theres no fan in it but whats the noise level like on the qnap? Seriously considering this qnap/sb3 wired route now. Macs too expensive for what it is and the shuttle/sff whilst small would probably still be too big and noisy for the space that I have. The other decision is the size. Was thinking of getting the 300 gig one.
