I am looking in purchasing one but not any one i am looking for one that is very high tech if anybody knows of one let me know. it should have
Ethernet(NAS)
Video OUT(Media center so i can plug it into a tv and watch my movies
Video In(New feature to record Tv straight to the hard drive
Torrents(Able to be a torrent box)
Php, Mysql, FTP(Stuff that i can host a website off)
I doubt many have Video in but i believe there should be quite a few that have the rest? something like this http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/29/emtec-announces-movie-cube-r-mutimedia-hard-drive/ but this isnt out yet :(

This is going to sound dumb as heck but apple TV with an external drive?
I haven't really looked at this much but just the general idea of what you are doing kind of seems to describe it.

Other than that device it sounds to me like you are basically looking for a computer...

no budget really and hard drive space can be changed by putting different hard drives in

Ok i have decided to get a NAS external and then a TV external
So what i am looking for is a cost effect NAS external case the things i want it to include are
Torrenting- bittorrent ect
FTP
MySQL and PHP and anything else that i need/ will use to host a website
10/100/1000 Ethernet
I am also looking for more of a media centre hard drive it would be nice to get one with
AV out- to watch my movies
AV in- to record straight off the tv
Esata(this is just a + its not needed)
OTG(this is just a + its not needed)
File Support-
Video- MPEG 1/2/4(3 if possible) AVI, Dvix, Xvid, DAT, VOB, IFO, ISO
Audio- MP3, WMA, OGG(if possible)
HD output would definatly be good but it isnt completly needed. Not everything mentioned is needed but the more the better

Still sounds like you want a HTPC, not just a hard drive enclosure.
