Any chance somone can get hold of a Linksys NSLU2 & Netgear TA612V for me. i could do with 2 of each, one set for my brother. Will have it collected.

Cant seem to find any in west midlands. Pm me if you can

I don't think you will find an NSLU2 anywhere - these all went in the eBay direction as far as I can see - typical selling price £45 + inflated delivery.

There is currently only one eBay seller with these (no, it's not me!!).

Still selling for £50+ in the retail world.

TA612Vs are probably few and far between now they've dropped into the 'buy it just because it's cheap' section - picked up the last two in my local store yesterday, but these were for family, sorry!

Shame I only just noticed this, a hacked NSLU2 would have been a useful way for me to remotely backup my server... was looking at other sites and it's true that they cost any where between £50 and £80, most of which are out of stock until Jan. Seems like a popular product.

It's a great product.

They've had them at the Great Yarmouth branch for ages. I bought one in October having bought one a month before from Amazon for £50.

There was still one left a couple of days before xmas.

Somebody might be interested - I popped into Wigan Staples today (surprised it was open) and they had a Cowan iAudio X5 in the camera cabinet at £39.91. Its a 30gb MP3 player. (It was labelled/priced up as a "1Audio")

I didn't pick one up so its still there.

:T I found one at High Wycombe in the display stand marked up at £99.
Asked a very helpful staff member to check the SKU and voila: £39.91. So I snaffled that one; missing the PSU and packing but not a problem 5V +ve centre mini female adapter.

Worth checking out - seems a nice player as others have mentioned.
