This is the motherboard (damn google, can't find an actual review for the socket 939 version!)

This is the core architecture...
http://www.nvidia.com/page/gpu_mobo.html
It's got one 16x PCI-E, so I could add a top-notch RAID controller card, w00t!
The only area I'm worried about is the fact that it only has 100Mbit Ethernet.
I mean how does that manifest itself in reality, is it really such a big loss?
The core function of this device would be to store content, often there'd be streaming but mainly it'd be used for back-up/archival purposes.
I mean, aside from the anaemic Ethernet, this would wipe the floor with most "pre-made" NAS devices on the market atm wouldn't it?*
Aside from the very top tier ones, which are beyond most normal humans budget.
cheers,

*assuming the choice of RAID card was decent
