    Yes, saw this for sale in Dunnes Portlaoise yesterday. I resisted buying it but saw it was sold out today. I initially thought they were selling the display model at 150 because one of the speakers was blown. Great deal btw.

    I've had this for a while, works well as a hi-fi but the wifi feature is poorly implemented and poor at best for a few reasons. A mixture between usability problems and terrible software takes a good idea and totaly ruins it, imo.

    Worth 150, for the sound clarity and 5CD changer alone though.

    Yes, Impossible to get it to work with XP (I will try again when I get more time). Got it to work OK with windows 98 second edition no problem. Good system and great sound The CD's take MP3's also.

    Ah, you'll get it working alright, but getting it to integrate it with an existing network is a nightmare. The instructions and online support are third-rate. Got it all sorted, worked relatively well...then turn it on to use it the next day and you have to go through it all again....

    Any tips in getting it to work with an existing network. I have 2 networks now. One point to point and my normal wifi connection. You can PM me if you like as it will probably off the point of the thread. Did you get it to work with XP.
