First the "Chumby Guts" were $99.00, I hesitated and missed that. Then I jumped on the $129.00 Version. Now I find the "Chumby 1" for $99.00 complete!!!! What! Did they dump their unwanted or unneeded stock on us? Not Very Nice.

It took me a half hour to assemble this and a short time to set up an account and configure it. Everything worked perfectly the first time. The device operates without a case if desired. I'm completely satisfied. Chumby is an amazing product!

Chumby viscera received, user mostly happy |

Good: Complete, worked on the first try, easy assembly. The only soldering is two super-easy connections for wires to the bend switch.
Less good: The instructions were a single badly photocopied page, missing the leftmost half-inch of text from the second half of the directions.
The bend switch shown as SPST NO in the directions was actually SPDT as delivered. Hook up the wires to the COM and NO pins. The wire for the COM pin on the switch had to be extended to reach. Two screws needed to secure the switch bracket to the speaker assembly were not included.
My biggest problem was a lack of wireless network reception. I had to put the Chumby right next to my AP to get anywhere. After I downloaded the firmware update, the problem seemed to go away. Maybe just a software issue.
Great fun and nifty concept. Questionable value given that the new Chumby, assembled, is going to be available RSN for something close to the same price. Overall, I'm a very happy mutant indeed.

grab your soldering iron and screw drivers and your box of guts and 30 minutes later you've got a cool li'l network widget.
skip ahead in the instructions and start with soldering the wires to the switch that way your iron will be cool by the time your done.

As predicted Chumby did assemble within 30 minutes...but he is dead. No visible damage, no smoke, no heat, just no display.
I took him apart and assembled him again. Nothing. I'll check to see if there is any kind of Chumby Support if so, I'll fix this rating.
