Might be useful for those of us working with "budget" systems. If anyone
  does make a purchase, please post your investigations to the list - I
for one would be interested.

But don't put important data on it since it doesn't do ECC RAM....

Considering the small incremental cost of ECC ram, it's hard to believe
someone would build one of those without it.

Heck, I'd think a RAID5 array of Ipod shuffles might be more reliable.
That's a joke, but only halfway...

This device comes with no RAM -- you add your own.  However, it
doesn't even *support* ECC.  That's idiotic, I think.
