I'm wondering about a rackmount NAS box for my home office.

I have friends who have put Debian on these desktop units - but I'm
looking at a rackmount.  I suppose the "firm"ware requirements are
pretty similar?

I guess something else I'm interested in finding from people...  is it
worth buying something like this, or just building a 2U rackmount server
with only samba, ftp and nfs on it?  these are about $1800 for a 2Tb
unit - and can be easily configured for RAID over a web interface - is
it worth the extra $$$ ?  Is there a good open source iScsi app/driver set?

Any opinions?
