I found the hardware of the two pre-built WHS's I was able to track (HP and Medion) a bit lacking

Lacking in speed, lacking in build quality, too loud, something else?

I imagine (perhaps without justification) that there will be a slew of vendors getting into the business of selling WHS boxes in time for Christmas. Who knows, maybe even Apple will have a competitive surprise up their sleeves.

I'm not holding my breath...
