Which NAS to buy ?

Hi:

In the market for a NAS. Now, i have the following questions wrt to NAS:

1. Should be 'on' 24x7 which means PC will be never turned 'on' for music streaming.
2. Should be pre-installed with SqueezeCentre 7.4 to connect to my SB3 for streaming.
3. Should it be always close to the router for ethernet or can the NAS be wireless too?
4. Should be silent.
5. Budget £100-£150.

Thank you.

Not sure you'd really want a NAS on wireless, but ethernet can run for 100meters, so it doesn't have to be that close.

Ok. A wired NAS would be fine. What brand to buy, that's confusing.
