My main PC is an Intel Nuc. I love it.
Depending on your requirements, and price point. how about an INTEL NUC. I just got an I3 model for about $500 from amazon. You might be able to find the older model on sale and save about $100.The nice thing about this system is VERY quiet, small enough to just grab and go, don't need to worry about multiple boxes. It will run Ubuntu with no issues, I have Scientific Linux running for my media server (PLEX) with minimal issues.1 of: Samsung 850 EVO - 250GB - M.2 SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-N5E250BW)

Everything I have seen so far is either very expensive (tape drives), or very tedious (recordable DVD or BlRay) I started building a FreeNas, but the BSD that it runs on would not read the extra SATA card I bought, so I had to buy more and more expensive. Then the motherboard wouldn't boot off the USB. I still have a tall box small pile of drives that I never got to NAS for me. I understand that the latest Ubuntu will do ZFS, perhaps I should put all the pieces back together and see if I can configure an Ubuntu system to act as a NAS server.MikeOn 09/01/2016 07:58 AM, Anon Anon wrote:--
Get a nas from Fry's electronics. Well worth the money. Also, buy a fire proof safe and mount the nas in the safe.
Will save your life if you have a fire. They make electronics safes. Don't rush into a burning house for hard drives. Pets and wives only bruh."Creativity is intelligence having fun." — Albert Einstein---------------------
