I supose if you wanted it just for say an MP3 Library, you would only have to do the l-o-n-g transfer once, but it would still stink IMO...

That's precisely the use I had in mind. It would be a sweet machine just to keep music on, and having RAID 5 safety is an added bonus. As the machine sits it would hold a lot of music, but it would be even better if it were larger.
Yup, the initial transfer time would stink. Then again, I could start it and let it go a l-o-n-g time while I did other things...like, live my life.
