OK, maybe that's taking the analogy too far, but you get the idea. The one big difference I could see between this box and the Acer is tech support — it really couldn't get much worse than Acer.

Different specs, designs and features though. The Acer design does look very similar to the Lenovo. But, for yer average consumer, what price premium would you attach to the Lenovo/IBM brand?

I've not had the pleasure of having one of those to compare directly to the D400, but there are some similarities. Software? Give me chance to fire 'er up! :) I will *try* very hard to get a review up in the next few days. I just want to make sure I give it a complete workout before publishing anything.

What about the included software can you post a quick screenshot.. Hmm, this look like a Ancer H340 from the back, side and front, I am quite sure this is an Acer OEM.

The next problem is finding 4 HD's sitting around gathering dust... Yea, right! Actually, I might be able to come up with 2, maybe 3 "little" ones. We'll see. If there is anything else that anyone wants me to specifially check out, add a comment! Sorry, I've got just a SD 4 bay. The next problem is finding 4 HD's sitting around gathering dust… Yea, right!
