Looking for an inexpensive NAS that turns off when idle [closed]

I have both Linux and Windows computers on my network and would like a central file store for music and such. What I want is something I can plug an RJ-45 cable into and access from any computer. I would prefer something that doesn't use a proprietary file system, but am interested in any ideas.

If you don't mind building the software side yourself, you could use the sheevaplug, attach drives via USB, and use software RAID. You'll just need to choose enclosures that support power down then.
