I agree with the poll result. SqueezeBox would sell a dedicated NAS type server by the bucketload: - Intel Atom processor - Flexible storage (internal or external hard drives) - 512mb+ memory - CD drive for ripping (optional, some of us prefer to do that on PC and upload) - Basic Linux OS - SBS pre-installed with easy upgrade or reinstillation with backup / reinstall of user settings - Full support for all plugins and transcoding - No need for graphics or sound chips, just a basic web interface. Basically a vortexbox but made in quantity at a lower price and supported by Logitech.
