I posted the first review of this device on Newegg.com. Reading more recent reviews, a Mr. N/A (aka Internet Tuff Guy) impolitely informed me that I was wrong about the RAM being soldered on. Hey, I made a mistake. I wanted to be sure, though, as I could have sworn I saw a mem chip on the topside of the mainboard. So, I powered down the server and opened her up.

I paid $239 +tax at Newegg for the 500GB model. It was very early Black Friday, just after Newegg sent the E-mail subscribers the official sale announcement. Later in the day, I noticed they had raised the price to $299! Wow! I got lucky.
Perhaps they noticed that Amazon.com wasn’t budging. AMZN kept the price at $299 all day BF and ever since.
In addition to the server, I purchased 2 one-terabyte Western Digital Caviar Green hard drives. One is installed in the server and one is connected via eSATA. I paid $69.99 each, no tax, and free two-day shipping. As of Sunday, Dec. 5th, they are $89.99 each. Lucky again! (I should buy a Lotto ticket).
