Hehe, I thought about this but went... Naaaah :-). The 
price, surely, must be insane.

Besides, can you run this without hooking it up to a T-
series router?

First thing I thought about when I saw this. But also, not 
sure whether you can run this without having to hook it up 
to the EX8200. If you can, it surely would be interesting, 
despite all that hard drive space :-).
