Summary
A somewhat shorter list than usual, but with this kind of form factor, that's no surprise. There are some oddities though. There's a header for (optional and not provided) S/PDIF input, but not output? What purpose does that serve? The networking is only 100Mbit too, so there are better prospects for building a file server (not to mention the single SATA link). That said, it's difficult to criticise this system for lacking expansion opportunities, given how little space there is on it.
