Do not under-estimate the power of the Clarke side.

Five minutes to tell you about...

...my new toy.
It's an Emprex ME1, the ME bit being a media enclosure. I'd love to get all techie at this point but since this is my first real post i'll reign myself in and say that it's basically a hard drive that I can plug into my TV and watch the programs that I've recorded onto it.
Those of you that know me already will know that I never settle for the simple things, so that fact that this little box also runs a linux environment is a real bonus for me.
I've already flashed it with the latest firmware, installed a debian image onto the drive and now it's not only networked hard drive (Did I mention that it has an RJ45 socket on the back?) but its also a samba server and bittorrent client too.
There's more information on this product at http://www.emprex.com/02_products_02.php?id=210 and I found it in the sale at Maplins, so now you know where to get one for yourself.
