hrm. the low balance CC I use for not-so-safe stuff got compromised two weeks after I used it on nzb.su, anyone else heard of this happening? Might be coincidence but it's a hell of a coincidence.

The reason you need a proper CPU (inasmuch as an APU is a "proper" CPU) is not for extracting, it's for PAR repairing and SSL if you roll with that, which something like an AMD e-350 can definitely handle. Plus it can double as your HTPC if you want.

I run my file server on an e-350 using btrfs and it works wonderfully with load rarely going over 2.

If you don't mind configuring stuff forever I guess building your own NAS is a good idea

:what: That's disingenous, there's no configuration after the initial setup.

On Ubuntu:
sabnzbd+ from the PPA
sickbeard from git (it updates itself online)
couchpotato ditto

webmin and you don't even have to SSH, and you can even control mdadm.

That setup has lived through 2 motherboard failures (one because I dropped it one because the PSU gave up the magic smoke) with minimal re-configuration (mostly wiping ubuntu's udev automatic rules for the NIC), I am not sure you could do that with any other cheapo NAS.

e: Mind you the configuration can get complicated if you go with a fancy filesystem like btrfs and zfs, but again, it's a one time thing.

Usenetserver supposedly has a $60 a year plan today only but I can't find it (it's mentioned on nzbsu).
