Looks interesting at first glance.

Two points, though:

1. It connects via USB only, so I would need to interface the USB to my LAN. (ok, there's plenty of hardware that can do that)

2. It actually comes with a high-temperature-warning-LED installed, which together with the rather crampy design does not help to win my confidence regarding drive cooling issues.

I'll keep a look at it, though...
Thanks for the link,
