You can turn a 5 or 6 GB H10 into a flash-based player of similar capacity fairly reasonably whereas that link you posted is a £600 component.

The debate we were having was whether or not buying a H10 for the sole purpose of stripping out the HDD and sticking in a CF card would be a better proposition than having to re-mortgage your home to make you H340 solid-state.
Interesting. I could see going for that sooner than a 'real' SSD, as CF has reached 16 GiB and the price isn't beyond 500 USD. Is the CF card a direct fit?
