It may me nice and always on, but with 4x500Gb drives it will be anything but "low energy". The lion's share of power consumption in these devices is always the hard drives, and if you need a lot of storage then you need a lot of hard drives. FWIW, my view on this topic is that NAS vs. PC is missing the point. Everyone has different requirements and priorities and there is no one-size-fits-all device that will keep everybody happy. I think there is probably a place in the market for some sort of turnkey solution that comes with with a reasonably powerful processor and decent amount of RAM and has SqueezeCenter pre-installed, or is configured to download it automatically from the Slim Devices website. I'm not clear that Logitech would be the right people to produce such a device.
