that's a good concept... talk about a good variation of NAS.

Wonder how much it costs to set up, including the hardware... and how good the UI is.

It's fun to play with, I have LibraryBox v1.3 setup on a MR3020, fairly cheap http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-MR3020-Wireless-Portable-15 0Mpbs/dp/B006DEBXD0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374637409&am p;sr=8-1&keywords=MR3020

The v2 will be much nicer.

As for the UI, v1.3 is very simple HTML, no web-based way to upload to the LibraryBox, but v2 will include that AFAIK. Currently with v1.3, I just copy stuff to a USB drive then put that in the LibraryBox and turn it on.

A nice secondary feature is that it acts as a DHCP server and wireless access point so my son and I can play multiplayer games with our laptops in the minivan while my wife drives Very Happy
