    Thanks everyone. The MacMini sounds nice but I am don't know if i would be able to configure it easily. I am a newbie at this. Sound like it might be a little above my skills. With either Netgear or Asus the NAS would get connect to the router correct? Would that be via USB or Ethernet? Also...
