HP just launched a new product the HP ProLiant MicroServer. Looks like a good idea for people bridging the gap between the EX495 / Datavault line and building a NAS. The micro only supports raid 0/1 but I'm sure people running zfs or installing a raid card would look past this. It also has two pci-e slots (16x, 1x) and looks like room for 4 internal drives. Seems like a good base to start, and I think can be followed by adding an external sas / e-sata enclosure to really get a good NAS setup.

Anyone got any input on how they feel about this box? Discuss....
Modding ideas:
Install raid card with external sas and power a Norco box
Max on Ram to 8gb and run vm's to use as untangle box / Nas / media server
Install pci-e GFX and use as htpc / xbmc
