    Choosing a Wireless N router (but ignoring the wireless part)

    Excellent!! I'll be ordering one of the two this evening. I suppose my choice in 8 port switch is mostly a matter of price and warranty, and out of those 2 the only sure thing is the amount of money leaving my pocket. Thanks Again!! cscotto

    Choosing a Wireless N router (but ignoring the wireless part)

    Thanks Tim, The USB file sharing is more of a nicety than a requirement. I'm definitely open to suggestions. "Buy right, buy once" is a slogan I try to stick to when funds allow. I also like to expect the worst so I usually end up pleasantly surprised when things work out better than I...

    Iomega iConnect Review

    Great write up on the iConnect. I've been waiting for reviews of this little guy since its announcement at CES. I'm a bit confused about the supported drive formats for the iConnect and it doesn't help that Iomega isn't totally clear about it. Small Net Builder has been the definitive place...

    Does a larger media library rule out entry level products?

    Hello all, I'm in the middle of the great NAS decision and I'm wondering if there is a point where the number of files in a media library (say, more than 50,000) would rule out the entry level NAS devices with slower processors and less RAM. I watch my poor old underpowered G4 Mac Mini...
