Looking to create a shared harddrive on you local network? I saw this little tidbit on boing boing regarding the problem with Western Digital network drives (no serving any multimedia files), after looking around the good old internet, I found miniStack which claims you can add Drag-and-Drop data storage and sharing to your network. It works on the mac and pc, and the really cool thing is you can just buy the case for 79.99 and put in your own harddrive!

Here are the features breakdown.
