Our local Walmart was dumping them for $23 each, which is why I picked  
up 4 of them (all they had). For that price they were just not pass-up- 
able.

But today, a few years later, there are other somewhat more powerful  
options available.

I have an old Qube2, a MIPS-based machine I was thinking of turning  
into a DB server. Main problem is the 5vdc RAM is hard to find and  
expensive.

The various slug firmwares will also run on other NAS appliances:
