Yes essentially it is a purpose built PC... but it is plug and play compared to doing this all on my own.

Well, perhaps... I suppose I'd have to really want that option, but I really can't see why. It's pretty easy to put in or take out HDD's in the pc case. For storage only drives, it's easy enough to keep them in the PC but disabled. I have purchased a HDD docking station to pop in HDDs that I'm no longer using but might like to access some time. It works great, but I have noticed, I seldom use it. That being said, it was only $40 for the dual docking station, so no biggie. However $580 for diskless network box with storage potential, but no actual storage?? What am I missing or is it as ridiculously overpriced as it seems?
