Yep not much advantage unless you can step up volumes to 1000+ then the price line drops to ~6k. That said I find that the device has voltage range of 110~250 so in over a year not a single power supply is blown, this is without any UPS etc. neither is any moving part involved so you can say bye bye to AMC. Second form factor. Out of the way mounting right on back of LCD screen. Third no fan means very quite working. Lastly power consumption is only 8watt. Pays for itself by reducing electricity bills and lower heat output. I expect if some one really produced volumes the price line can drop lower but I am happy enough at this. -- Regards, Sudev Barar See you at 'Freed.in - freedom in technology & software' - India's leading free and open source community event. 28- 29 September 2007, New Delhi.
