I've considering repurposing my old HTPC hardware (AM2+ Mobo/Phenom II 940 (125w)/4gb DDR2) memory into a NAS, can anyone recommend a good low power CPU replacement to swap into the board to cut down on heat/power usage in a NAS?

I've been having some BSODs, small data corruption issues and general system oddities on my IBM T60 WinXP laptop. I ran Chkdsk and noticed I've got 16kb of bad sectors on my Hard Drive. I'm not certain whether I'm looking at a System or a Hard drive failure in progress but seeing any bad sectors...
