Thanks everyone for the input.

I was looking for a 19" rack model - should have said before. I know it's more expensive but the room (the library in my basement) is already heavily packed and the desktop format will not be so easy to fit in.

In the comparison between Synology and QNAP there are quite a few anecdotal comments negative towards QNAP. I shall look at Synology further.
