Need help with DIY NAS

[nsguru]

Hi guys, I would like to build a DIY NAS as I hope to get a better performance and less power usage than the OEM NAS.

However, I would like to keep it as low budget as possible.
I currently still have 4 SATA hdds and DDR3 Rams.

The parts I need are probably these:
- PSU
- Casing ITX
- Motherboard ITX
- Processor
- OS

Thank you very much in advance.

Currently running:
MSI E350, 6gb ram, FSP Arum S 500w, 3x2TB seagates

Most importantly OS using nas4free.

Consumption is 43-55w last i remember

...... and less power usage than the OEM NAS........

The chance of DIY with lower power consumption than OEM NAS is pretty slim.
