Can anyone recommend a really cool and efficient combination of
PSU+mobo+CPU for a home raid/nas box? Am happy to do some bodging
regards case, or re-use what I have.

I need at least 3x1TB drives, ideally 4x, so need more SATA than Atom
mobos seem to have.
Hot-swap nice but by no means essential.
Doesn't need much CPU grunt - it's currently on an Athlon 64 3800+
2.4GHz and this is plenty.
And it's very happy with 512MB of RAM.
I'll be running Ubuntu on it (in fact, will just move current install
over)

The Tranquil boxes look nice, but I need to check that all the
components are Linux friendly, and I'd ideally be spending a tad less.

Thanks
