i have an almost exclusively mcintosh 2-channel system, and i would never buy this. while i love the sound of mcintosh gear, and even love its very old-fashioned, 1980's hi-fi looks, i would never purchase a beastie with an internal hard drive. was there any mention of how back-up the data? with a single drive holding all your digital info, it would be worse than horrible to have that drive crash.
i built my own music server from an infrant readynas600 + modified squeezebox2 (bolder cable mods). with a nokia 700 as a remote control, it still was less than 1/2 the price of this mac unit, and is RAID5 protected. i think mcintosh is appealing to their "money is no object" customers. i couldn't imagine anyone really wanting one otherwise. -sherm -- shermoid "you are only young once, but you can be immature forever" "life is uncertain; eat dessert first" - anonymous please visit my mcintosh website: http://alumni.cse.ucsc.edu/~sherman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shermoid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=379 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35767 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
