I have the opportunity to get a ChiliBox (http://www.chilisystems.com/index.jsp?nPage=1).
Is anyone out there interested? How much would you be willing to pay?
Thanks!

Can't we all buy one? What are you saying? :confused:

Uh, this isn't a Mac, so what up with that? :eek:

I don't understand this device, really... it's supposed to be an all-in-one server system, but it contains a miniscule hard drive and you are not allowed to add an additional hard drive? I don't understand the target market for it. It seems like overkill for the vast majority of home users and yet inadequate for most business users.
What do you plan to do with it?
EDIT: Sorry -- I didn't realize this thread was in the marketplace... I'm still not completely clear on whether the OP is trying to sell one or asking if he/she should buy one... :confused:

The item has to be in your possession if you want to sell it, marketplace rules.

umm, WOW... they are listing these things for $560 and charge more for external hard drives, wireless, etc.
it's the same thing as the FIC falcon, link HERE (http://www.targetpc.com/hardware/barebones/cr51/), selling for $150 without a hard drive, and can be found for less with little work. add a copy of ubuntu and a 500gb hard drive, and you just saved about $400 plus you can upgrade it later. and they are full of crap about the 'near silent', this thing is one of the loudest itx systems i have built to date. 2 really loud 40mm fans.
that is one hell of a markup for a hard drive install and a fancy GUI. runs linux. 3com did this a few years ago but gave up because nobody who could config it would buy it, and anyone who didn't understand it bought something cheaper.
nice red color i guess... :confused:

The idea was that I could get one, and I was wondering if it was worth anything here or elsewhere, if I decide to resell it.
I guess it's not. Oh well.
