NAS and network printer on the cheap?
Hi, what's "in" at the moment for creating a cheap NAS device and allowing
network printing? My printer is a USB model and router/ADSL modem only has LAN ports (and wireless). Something like the Belkin USB Network hub or Linksys NSLU2 Network Link? My budget is 100 for the Network device and external hard disk drive. I'd prefer the device to connect to the router wirelessly due to the current location of my printer. Also I'd prefer the device to connect to the router wirelessly due to my proposed location for external hard drive which I'd probably swith off overnight when not in use. Thanks for any advice. |

Is there an old pc lurking in your closet? Why not dust it off and give it a new job. This gives you all of your preferences at least cost. |

Could be, but a.config is trouble for me and b.too much power consumption (possibly?) |

I'd like to build a cheap and small computer including a CPU of the Intel Atom seires. but it's must cost more than £100. |
