CADMAX: do they have network support?

I wondered the same initially. Through USB by the looks of it, if you look at the photo you can see what suspiciously looks like a D-Link device connected at one end to the USB hub and the other to a red ethernet cable.

thats what i was looking at. it just seems a little cut price to have networking and every thing they say it has.

I want one. :) Awesome as a 'streaming server' for my hobby. 700mhz is enough juice (as long as it has network support and I can somehow get audio into it.
