These days, that's the Ceton InfiniTV or the Silicon Dust HDHomeRun, both of which are Ethernet-attach, and take zero slots.

Things may have changed, but one of these ST3000s we're talking about came by UPS fom TigerDirect... wrapped in one wrap of heavy kraft, and nothing else. Happily, their local retail store swapped it for me, for one that came in in proper packaging, without trouble. > > My endgame is to replace the entire backend with an HP DL180g6, > > which > > has 12 SAS/SATA tray slots on the front, and proper cooling.

Because it's discontinued, the secondary market price is about $200, and the 12 tray slots on the front will take the SATA drives I already have; why I picked it. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
