If all you need is a place to dump files why not something like Amazon S3? It's subscription based but the storage is cheap and you don't need any hardware.

On a pretty standard consumer line, it takes about 15 minutes to upload a 100MB file to a remote server. That takes <10 seconds on a 100Mb Ethernet connection.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
Allright I'll bite, what do you consider a "pretty standard consumer line"?Freezer7Pro wrote:

1Mbps should be a usual upload speed. That's 0.125MBps. A 100MB file will take 800 seconds. That's >13 minutes
EDIT: That's assuming you'll actually be able to keep a constant speed
Damn you freezer

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Alright, cool. What does the sata raid card do?Freezer7Pro wrote:
I have 512MB SDRAM in my server, coupled with a P3. RAM usage is pretty much never over 90MB, and CPU usage at 0%. Only high-performance web servers and such need fancy hardware.
And CrazeD, for network shares/FTP/etc, file systems don't matter. Linux is much better for servers, really. Windows is just not made for it.
