I agree, but I can buy two entry-level Synology DiskStations for the price of one C2550 CPU+MB bundle. I really like that CPU and I would buy it in a heartbeat to replace my Synology, if the price didn't include the "GenuineIntel tax".

When I bought it, my HP MicroServer cost less than any equivalent ARM NAS, it has ECC RAM too.

I also went with an HP MicroServer, but only just heard about their somewhat recent policy change of requiring a valid warranty or paid service plan to obtain firmware and software updates.

Same. I went that route because a NAS of any appreciable capacity was going to cost more for the box and no disks then my entire setup put together.
