Looking for hackable linux NAS

Looking for a NAS that I can configure a database (My SQL), web server (Apache), My PHP Admin (to admin it ).

Need to be able to provide a portable web and database server to go out to locations where there may not be internet access.

Also wouldn't mind contracting($$) with someone that can build out the initial image that we could just clone and deploy.

Looking at the Zyxel NSA 310. This is nice because end users can't plug a keyboard/mouse/monitor into it and mess it up.

or any other linux nas


proliant microserver(non hotplug) or ml110g7(hotplug) are good cheap solutions. The microserver can be hot plug if you spend $30 on a P400/256 raid controller.
 
Thx for the link but looking more for an 'appliance' like device. Like a NAS device. The ability to discourage people from tinkering with it would be a great first step in discouraging people not to tinker with it 😀

And if you password protect the login they can't tinker too. I don't get your logic...

What are the requirements?

That doesn't stop the determined idiot. However a box that simply has an ethernet (maybe usb) and power ports on it definitely gives the hint of 'go away'. I'm not going to be able to baby sit it.

I don't even want someone thinking they can plug a keyboard/mouse/monitor into it.

Simply looking for a NAS box that (or a router with attached storage and community firmware) that will let me serve up a custom check in application for gaming (both board and computer LAN) events that I wrote in JS/PHP/MySql and gets served via Apache.
 
Dlink DNS series can supposedly be rooted - they run a lightweight Linux.

But they're low power ARM chips, so probably don't have the oomph you need.
