With the pretty little tin can above, it'd be easier to pick up that the media center box itself - then what good are the backups you've been doing for 6 months?

Like I said - maybe it's just me.
Exactly Mike, very appealing to the eyes and damn easy to carry, for over two decades I've seen just how easy it is for villains to empty somone's life, what they don't steal they often just smash. It will no doubt appeal to some and look rather trendy sitting in the AV unit but with a decent music and movie library even 1.5 Tb ain't enough these days!
