For those wondering, here is what I ended up with in the long run:

  • Repurposed the old PC and installed FreeNAS on it.
  • Added a 1 TB USB drive to said FreeNAS box
  • Installed the Squeezebox Server Add-on to FreeNAS
  • Bought a Zotac Zbox and installed XBMC on it to use it as a HTPC, and pointed it to the FreeNAS box for files
  • Bought a Squeezebox Radio for the bedroom

The PC was around $500, the Squeezebox around $125 and the software (XBMC, FreeNAS) was free.

What's the specs on your freeNAS box and what version are you using? Also, what's the drive formatted as?

Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.
