It will only become more viable once someone begins selling packaged
systems - assembled, software installed, tuned and ready to go.  And
_supported_.  The $800 won't be an obstacle for a lot of people.  The
enormous amount of time required to do it right, would.

An enterprising individual could offer several different solutions with
different pricing - different sizes of enclosure, different capacities,
expandability, different performance levels.

The two biggest pitfalls to doing this are: a) support and b)
uncertainty over products to be released by Logitech.  Supporting such
a system could be very costly as you deal with things like ripping and
tagging issues that have nothing to do with the server.  The extremely
uncertain future with whatever Logitech is going to do with their new
'streaming media division' is a potentially huge monkey wrench.  It's
immediately obvious that Squeezebox isn't the future.
