Is is possible to attach an USB hard drive to an AirPort Extreme Base Station to use it for time machine backups?

What are the disadvantages of this solution compared to a Time Capsule?

What are the advantages?

Disadvantages: not so easy to setup. (Plenty of info on the net).

Advantages: Price and flexibilty.

Make sure you choose a compatible drive, like iOmega's Mini-Max.
