Yeah, this beats the PowerEdge 2450 and PowerVault 200 I have running as my test gear in the basement...

It reminds me a little of the Zune dock.

I really like the hockey puck design. It's sleek, stylish, and doesn't take up much room. It doesn't look like it could hold enough hard drives for my taste, but I would definitely recommend it to people that aren't looking to have multiple terabytes of storage space.

The one thing that bugs me about the way machines running Home Server will be sold is the complete lack of any way to connect monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I know it's not meant to have them connected, but the ability to connect them would be nice for troubleshooting if there are problems with the network connection. With no way to log in locally at all, if the network card goes bad, the whole server's hosed.

Even with my worries about no local log-in ability, Home Server still looks like a very solid product to me, and I plan on getting the OEM software from New-Egg or somewhere like it and building beast of a storage machine, and then unplugging everything except the network and power cables. Keep up the good work.
