Hack a Day reader [The_Glu] shared with us a project of his. He used an
Eee PC 701 he had lying around with a broken LCD, along with three 1TB
SATA drives to create a custom NAS server for his house. The server
features a number of other interesting components, including USB2SATA
converters to connect the hard drives, as well as a 2 line LCD to
display RAID information and server status. The entire project is
wrapped up in a custom made Plexiglas enclosure with case fans to keep
the whole thing cool. While this may not be the first Eee PC NAS, or the
fastest, this is a wonderful way to repurpose a broken netbook. We also
love the idea of netbooks being used more and more in projects like
these as the first generation reaches its end of usefulness age. More
pictures after the break.
Go there, see Pics...
