Try the Excito Bubba 3 for a lot more processing power. It's more expensive, but seems very solidly built in Sweden, not in China. With an SSD hard disk it would be completely quiet. http://www.excito.com/bubba/features.html

yea, but at 3x the price? I already have a dremel and, more importantly, I JUST GOT MY GURUPLUG DELIVERED TODAY!
it's is however much nicer looking, but as it's going in a comms cabinet and out of the way, that doesn't matter either...

will post pics of final set up when it's done Wink

Just received mine today.

It's a really, really, really big deception.
I've never heard something so noisy. It's just unbelivable.
I can't use it.
I want my money back.
Who knows how to return this (useless) noisy server ?
Thanks in advance.

SRG -

I see that you sent an e-mail to info@newit.co.uk. That was the right thing to do; Jason will get back to you, but you may need to wait until Monday for a response.

First I'd like to thank you for (finally) sending me an email informing about the (extended) delay.

But let me see if I got this one straight:

Quote
As an offer of good will we can offer you a jTAG module at a discounted
price, to take advantage of this please order an 4GB version of one of
these: http://www.newit.co.uk/shop/proddetail.php?prod=Class_10_Transcend

You can offer me a discounted price for the JTAG board, if I first order a SD card? So I have to buy something more from you before you even tell me what the discount will be?

Unbelievable.

Hi You are not buying an SD card, you are buying the Jtag for the price of the SD card.

Oh, that is actually a nice offer! Thanks for clarifying this, and sorry for my harsh tone in my previous post...

Hello,

I also received my Guruplug last Friday. Unfortunately the level of noise of the plug is just ways too high to be usable in standard home conditions. I love the initial concept (the product was announced and described in technical reviews as low-power and fan less ==> quiet), but it appears that the designers seem to have diverged from this concept between my initial order and the delivery roughly 1 month and a half later.

I have interacted with Jason asking him if some corrective measures were scheduled but have not received a response so far. In case there is no commitment from newIT on acoustical modifications I am expecting the details of the return procedure.

Kind regards,

Below I've quoted myself, just to show how ridiculous this is.
I've not seen such a bad service, ever before.

- no answer to my emails
- no answer to my inquiry here about how to get the guruplug swapped for a Sheevaplug.
- since july the 18th not received ANY email, which is almost 4 months ago (!!!!)
- Globalscale altered the website after my post I quoted below, to remove any statements about the 'professional upgradekit', which indicate the current product wasn't working fine.
- the specs are changed so the plugcomputer could probably survive the upcoming cold winter.
- the versions of the 'professionally upgraded' shipped guruplugs even show worse design-capabilities.

So can you PLEASE offer any statement to which you can be held?

I've really waited long enough, and I think everyone else here would agree with me.

At july 18th we all received an email stating the wait was "In the coming weeks (not months)"
This was 4 weeks ago, which is 4 days short of a month. (3 if you look at the date on the Globalscale site)

A few lines below another 'estimate' was given:
We will be issuing instructions shortly on how to obtain a kit.

So apparently "shortly" is at least 4 weeks.

I've ordered my Guruplug at Feb. 28, which is 2 weeks short of 6 months.
Here in Holland the law states that when a product shows any defect in the first 6 months, it must be concluded the problem which causes the malfunction was already present at production. After this moment it is up to the customer to prove the product was handled properly and thus not responsible for the malfunction.
I am afraid this will take too long and in my opinion NewIT should make sure Globalscale will deliver the promised upgrade or I think NewIT will get a lot of refund claims for which they will probably not be reembursed by Globalscale.

And to be honest, it is quite rediculous there is still not a working product (as advertised) after 6 months.

Hello there
As per our last post on this subject "For those of you that already have your GuruPlug Server Plus, we are talking to Globalscale about how the distribution of this “Professional upgrade kit” will be handled. We of course have all our GuruPlug Server Plus customers’ details and will contact you again as soon as we have an update on this."

We are awaiting delivery from GST, as soon as we have an acurate delivery date (that we are confident enough to be held to) we will advise.
