Does anyone have one of these?

I am thinking of ordering one and was wondering what your opinion is on it if you have one.

I was looking at those the other day myself - only in the 1TB version. Might grab one in the next month of so - but am also interested to hear what others say about them.

I got one of these about 3 weeks ago and I'm LOVIN' IT!

Since I have a considerable amount of music, the iTunes server feature was nice for me. I currently have it about 350GB full (just with music). I like the price point on this one as well.

After reading some reviews only I went ahead and ordred the 500 GB one. I plan to add in some TB harddrives when I see them onsale. I also plan to upgrade the RAM in it. This site tells some cool things you can do to it

I don't think you can go wrong with that one. I'm just too cheap to drop the extra $$.

Good luck!
