+1 for the My Book Live. You can find the 1TB on ebay for less than
$100. The instructions for installing LMS on your MBL are clearly set
out in the thread referenced earlier.

I think it is a lot more than that. A NAS is designed to be a NAS from
the ground up. It provides things like advanced power management, easy
backup

Many NASs have the capability the run 'iTunes Server'
(https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1876358?start=0tstart=0).
But you do not necessary need that feature. You could also just store

Generally yes, with the critical assumption that one can install LMS on
the nas. LMS can integrate with iTunes files/databases. BUT ONE STILL
NEEDS LMS RUNNING.
I should have mentioned this in my earlier post in this thread. I used
two different NASs as my Squeezebox server over the course of about 3
years, and then switched to a basic headless pc with an Intel Atom
processor for the past 4+ years, and I have to say that I find the
headless pc a far

No disagreement from me. But a lot has also happened on the low-power PC
side of things as well, and I still think
The better NAS boxes are improved and the cheap NAS boxes are... Cheaper
?
And the market for general purpose computers in all sizes and hardware
typeshas exploded ,some uses them as media servers or media centres or
DIY NAS box or vortexbox .

Yes, definitely make sure it either comes with LMS or you can install
and run it, before you spend the money on a NAS. Another brand of NAS
that I know supports LMS is the Netgear ReadyNAS. I've been using one
for years for the same backup/streaming purposes you're looking for, and
it works

Look for a NAS of a well known brand (good support and wide spread). It
is preferred to have a NAS with an Intel based architecture but it is
not a requirement. ARM based will work well too considering you select
one with enough processing power.
Im using a ReadyNAS NVX (Intel based) and that

You'll need something that can actually run the LMS program. Many NAS
units can't.
+1
Some NAS manufacturers include LMS in the NAS firmware, but that doesn't
appear to be the case with this NAS. The web page says it has an 800MHz
CPU, which should be just good enough to run LMS, but I don't see the
amount of RAM listed anywhere. You should consider 256MB the absolute
minimum

I second this. I bought a QNAP NAS specifically because the review I
