I've had this for a few months now. I was amazed at how easy it was to set up. I literally "plugged" it in and it "played". My system is standard Dell PC running Windows XP.
I didn't go for any extras. Didn't need a firewire cable or anything else.
And the price these days is incredible. I'm nowhere near using the memory up and I can see this lasting me quite some time.
It looks great next to my monitor on my desk. I was surprised at how small it is. For some reason, looking at the pictures here I thought it would be bigger, but it's about the size of big, fat paperback book. On top of this, it doesn't make any noise.
In summary, a great product, and I'd buy another in a heartbeat, if I ever needed to.
