Geeks.com sent us for a review an external hard drive enclosure case, the "TVisto Series 3.5" Multimedia HDD Enclosure" (2.5" series also available). But this is not just another hard drive enclosure, but also a multimedia jukebox. And it's running uCLinux, an embedded version of Linux.

Well, don't forget that this IS a mobile solution. So getting it to your PC is not a big deal. But yes, there is some inconvenience there.
In my case, it is very easy to actually move the enclosure, but it's really a pain to have to also move the power supply to my office and re-attach it there. I have LOTS of cables on the back of my desks and doing so is really, really a pain.
So, yeah, while moving the enclosure itself is easy, having to deal with the power supply is not. This is why an ethernet jack with a samba server in it would be ideal.

Hopefully that rumored Intel Based Apple mac mini thingy will come out. Otherwise one of these days I'm going to have to put together a myth tv box. Recent Original Stories

What were they thinking? If it had a network jack I would consider getting one, but I'd hate to have to this thing to my desktop just to load up the files.
