Thanks for all the links, I already have this box up and running:

http://www.omtec.de/200/cgi-bin/artikel/121/

with a 80GB HDD (24/7) and an additionally built-in:

ral0 at pci1 dev 6 function 0 "Ralink RT2561" rev 0x00: irq 11, address
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
ral0: MAC/BBP RT2561C, RF RT2527

And I ordered this:

together with this:

to build a NAS based on an Areca Hardware-Raid Controller (SATA-II).
This will be my first VIA Board, will see how it works...

Cheers,

Joerg
