It's almost funny... my NAS started out as a backup for my bi-annual Windows reinstall, but half a year later it was acting as a file server in my university's residence hall for a small group of friends. Don't tell 'em, though... they don't like us using up their bandwidth for this sort of thing.

Voted. My NAS comes in handy for my network AIO printer to digitally store incoming faxes, among numerous other things like file sharing.
