That's a good deal.

Long term (don't really have the money to do it at the moment), I've been looking at a large NAS. Actually primarily so I can ensure the family computers are backed up (even though it's on site, it's better than nothing) but I'd like to store some media, and stream it. Yes, I know that most NAS drives can do DNLA, but I have a variety of devices and I'd like a device with enough power to convert the media to whatever form is needed on the fly..

I use a package called Mezzmo to stream and convert the media. Be interesting to see if that microserver is up to the task of on the fly conversion.
