i want one. or two :)
Apart from that single criticism (lol), looks like a great product. With it using an Atom if you ever wanted to upgrade to a different OS the options are limitless... ASSUMING you can replace that flash drive with something bigger to hold a bigger OS and services.
OH MY GOODNESS, over EUR 1000 for the big prother TS-639 Pro system barebone, ie 0GB. geizhals.at/deutschland/a385226.html. I guess the TS-439 is going to hit EUR 750 with 0GB. (Assuming 50% price for infrastructure and 50% for storage scope). I think that's quite a lot even though it does look nice!
:roll:
Edit: Okay, where did you get an Atom N330 and how many locks do you have on the front of your house?
this atom box is very expensive
(may have an uranium atom inside, lol )
no way...
you can build a mini-itx ~500 euro with core-duo or amd x2 and one or two hdd at half price...
simple check the newegg offer
