I've just been thinking about getting a small SAN / NAS setup at home so that I can keep copies of all my stuff together - how are you guys hosting yours?

Options wise there do seem to be quite a lot of small NAS appliances around now, or the other option is just get a case which takes a shitload of drives and run a small server hosting them all on something like say Windows 2008 R2 or Linux.

This would make a nice little beast with room for 16 3.5" drives:

When you price it all up storage gets expensive pretty quickly!
