Why do you feel conned? If you do not like the SB3 or Duet, send it back. I believe they both come with a 30-day Satisfaction Guarantee. As for the ReadyNAS, I had one and it did what it said it would do. Was it up to the task of my huge CD collection, NO it was not. The ReadyNAS is also really only meant for a small music collection and not other tasks. It is NOT a PC, it is an intellegent Network Storage Device. The Thecus N5200 Pro is in my opinion the minumum equipment as far as an NAS goes for any small to medium CD collection. And if one has over 5000 CDs, I strongly suggest that one builds their own NAS based off a minimum of an Intel P4 machine with 2 GB RAM running some form of Linux (and before everybody goes crazy, yes you can use older slower PCs, but with P4 prices where they are why would you). The biggest advantage of building your own NAS is that you can fix it yourself from regular PC parts as well as upgrade it anytime. Finally, if one has a wireless network, why not try keeping the music files stored on the ReadyNAS and running SqueezeCenter on an old PC. That way the NAS does not have to deal with SqueezeCenter or all GUI overhead. -- iPhone iPhone Last.FM http://www.lastfm.com/user/mePhone Media Room: Transporter, Vandersteen Quatro Signature, Ayre MX-R Mono Blocks, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center Channel, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco 710, RAM Oppo DV970HD, VeraStarr 6.4SE Living Room: SqueezeBox Duet, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold Bedroom: Squeezebox 3, Thiel 2.3, NAD C370 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45261 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
