IcyBox NAS900-B

Seriously thinking of getting one of these for my home network (Scan have 'em for under 50 notes !). They look incredible value for money.
Anyone got one and want to share your opinions on it ?

Any comments welcome

Anyone ?

That is indeed tempting, but not much use for me here at uni

Would be good for a student house tho....

Anyone else with real experience of this device............?

None here but looking at the specs it doesn't support GbE only 10/100 Base T. Means you are limited to a rather paltry 8Mbs unless you hook it up via USB for large file transfers which rather defeats the objective of having a NAS... Mind you it is cheap!

8Mbs is more than enough for streaming videos on to my Media Centre PC, so should be good enuff
