Er, here's the link: http://ncix.com/products/?sku=58630&vpn=TS-412&manufacture=QNAP%20Systems%20Inc%2E

My co-worker has 3 QNAPs; I'm not sure which model exactly, but I think they're 4-bay ones.

This QNAP server is not much more than the HP, but has very good software. Saves a lot of your valuable time setting up. A co-worker has 3 of them.

I haven't used one myself but recently listened to a favorable review of the unit on the latest episode of the Ubuntu UK podcast: http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/. Additionally, the fellow from the podcast has written up a fairly detailed blog about his use of the unit, complete with photos from the in & outside of the unit:
 
Maybe you could do a demo at a MUUG meeting if you get one.

Anyone have any experience with these?  Kinda seem too good to be true.
Looking for a small appliance (low power, no/low hassle) like replacement for my Dlink DNS-323.
The 323 is great but I need more disk and better performance (currently 12-15MB/s on Gig-E,jumbo frames).

An HP MicroServer with 4x2TB in 2xRAID-1 (and booting FreeNAS from a decent USB stick) seems
like it might fit the bill.

Comments, recommendations?

I'll still use the 323 (i have lots of junk on it and the UPnP/DNLA, iTunes server etc work great) but some
bulkier storage to hold ISOs of all my DVDs are why I'm heading down this road.

P.S. The Patriot Box and the WD-Live HD will play ISOs of DVDs _WITH_ menus.
