[seltzered_]

I stopped being interested when I came across the price. I'm running two Intel SS4200's with FreeNAS x64. Cost of each was 129.99 last year (closeout price) + ~30ish bucks for 2GB DDR2 mem (they charge more for last-gen mem) + ~20ish for a usb serial adapter + cabling ==> roughly 180 for a DIY server. Only other things needed are a 4gig flash drive for the OS, and hard drives.

The drives can be swapped without any tools. My only regret was the 2GB ram limit due to the outdated chipset -- it scares me a little that i'm running ZFS with less than the 6GB recommended minimum FreeNAS recommends, but I'd rather use ZFS than worry about RAID bitrot/etc.
