my shoebox NAS – update

So I installed Windows 8 as an OS, the Consumer Preview, to be exact.

I’ll update it to an RC as soon as one becomes available. The installations was a breeze, and I haven’t looked back ever since. Setting up an FTP-Server was easy and hassle-free thanks to FileZilla Server, Media Player does UPnP Streaming and Filesharing is deliciously easy thanks to Win7 Homegroups.
Administration is beautiful and comfy with a Remote Desktop Connection, and hey, it even displays the gorgeous new Metro interface.
SoI’m quite happy about my OS choice.
Since I didn’t install a fan – yet – and my NAS is made out of paper, I’m slightly worried about combustion. But so far in-the-box temeperature hasn’t risen above 45° Celcius, way too low to burn paper (232 °C).

But I’m going to get a fan anyway.
