They also sell a FreeNAS for home / Small office installs that is vary 
reasonably priced, I have been hoping to have enough spare cash on hand 
this winter to buy one as an upgrade my existing FreeNAS box that was 
built form spare PC parts with a few new hard drives thrown in ever 
since I have noticed the new product on their website.
