With NASLite, does it back up open files as they are changed?

You're going to need an add-in PCI card anyway. The 440BX in that BX6 board
only supported ATA33, and didn't support 48bit LBA. Hence, no drives > 128GB
are supported. The OS may be able to override this, but would you trust it?
Plus, assuming you're using gigabit, your interface is going to limit your
throughput.
2 hot spares for 4 spindles is a little overkill. I generally only use one
HS unless the spindle count is > 15. (ie: the smallish 30-spindle EMC SAN I
just deployed has 2 hotspares, which is actually more than EMC's recommended
1 per 30). Any reason why you wouldn't just use RAID10?
