Bincho-tan!

It's pitch black, it's a cube (roughly), and it's small (relatively), so Bincho-tan it is.

One of these:



With four 1TB Western Digital SlowPokeâ„¢ drives installed.

It's an Acer Aspire EasyStore.  It's basically a little Linux box with an ARM processor, 128MB of RAM (I think), gigabit ethernet, WiFi, and four SATA drive bays.  Its compact size, low price, and RAID support make it look like a good alternative to external drives, so I bought one and stuffed it full of disks.  We'll see how it goes.

There's a new model out now which is quite a bit more powerful (and has proper hot-swap drive trays instead of just rails) - but also quite a bit more expensive, and it runs Windows Home Server instead of Linux.
