    This thing is about home automation, not media/PC service. Sure you could hook up a USB hard drive, but I wouldn't hold my breath on performance.

    Things like automation of lights, home theater setup, maybe security system, etc.

    Neat box for sure - smallest PC that capable I've seen.


    Edit: Yay - 2,345 posts. Won't see that fun again until 3,456.
    Dual CCIE (Route\Switch and Security) at your disposal. Have a Cisco-related or other network question? My PM box is always open.

    - Cisco 3560X-24P PoE Switch
    - Cisco ASA 5505 Firewall
    - Cisco 4402 Wireless LAN Controller
    - Cisco 3502i Access Point

    It's got a ring to it.

    A little more pricier, at $149, but with more conectivity, there is the Beagle Board, that consumes only 2 watts:
