I guess they figured there are soon going to be a lot of cheap-o 250 and 320GB disks swilling around in people's stocks, time to package them into something people want.

On another topic, how do you get the disks out of that thing anyway in case one fails? It doesn't appear to have drawers, slots or an easy (tool-less) way of getting them out of there.
After a few minutes search, you could bang together the same hardware for half the money. But I probably wouldn't and rather opt for a Board with two LAN ports. A bit more RAM is never a disadvantage as well, and we don't have to argue about the lovely case, do we?^^

btw, the link to Chipzillas page is broke.
