I tried this out and it works great! I build this on some 7 year old hardware we pulled and it's plenty fast for NAS use. It works great for cross-platform file storage.

Whisky - you can't just plug a hard drive into the network, you need some kind of OS behind it. That's what this does for you. But yes, you do need a physical computer. Throw a few 300 Gig drives together as a RAID 1 or 5 and you've got something way more reliable and flexible than a single external USB drive.
