The only thing I dont know about is how well you will be able to stream the data over a network, with the GIANT blueray files and all.

Gig ehternet is max 1Gbps.  
Sata is 3.0-6.0gbps

Thats wired. you mentioned your wireless, which is at most 160 Mbps 802.11N. so you would have to wire it to gig or your almost 25 times slower than local sata would yield.

I doubt that your be able to stream a 40GB+ file fast enough over a network to keep a steady play back.

99 this is your deal, I dont have too much NAS expierence so you could clear it up.

That would be good, do you still have the brackets your clip the HD into? Its prolly the same type one i have, shit works great and is tool-less which is nice too
