RE: New PC Build (slightly OT)

["Mark Hetherington" <mark.egroups@xxxxxxx>]

I am half sold on them already... if I can actually get at the Linux
underneath the Web Interface for running a few other things (e.g. HA
software) and find out the possibility of upgrading the RAM and HDD, then I
can see me getting one or maybe two. Seems a much better solution than the
recycling of old PCs I have been doing here and much smaller as well :)

Also need to find some way to get one linked up to HH.

Mark.
