Don't know if this would help, but I've got a SLUG (http://www.nslu2-
linux.org/) I'm not using. I was using it as a mp3 server, but I've
bumped up to bigger and better. It couldn't deal with a 200G+ music
library very well. It worked well up until about 140G. It's great for
experimenting, with tiny linux servers.
