Looks pretty good. I've been looking for a NAS lately actually so that I can stop leaving my computer constantly turned on to act as the multimedia server for my Squeezebox.
I think the price is a bit much though since it has wireless capability that isn't *really* necessary considering that if you had a wireless notebook or netbook then you would almost certainly use a wireless router to connect to the internet which would provide and access point. I'd be more inclined to use an ethernet cable to connect to my router rather than pay extra for hardware that I already have. Also, virtually all wireless devices, routers etc, use Linux as their firmware operating system. It makes no difference what operating system you use to connect to it though since the configuration is usually a HTML based application that you can access through any web browser. Does look cool though. 2010/1/21 Rob Beard <r...@esdelle.co.uk> > Quoting Dave Morley <davm...@davmor2.co.uk>: > > > Is anyone looking for a wireless nas box if so try > > > http://www.serversplus.com/product.asp?s=NPACE-STEASUK642&utm_source=SP_Eshot&utm_medium=email&utm_content=NasBox&utm_campaign=sp_nasbox_eshot > > > > Looks like a nice box, I don't know though.
