Y'all
Just about to order one of these and thought I'd share the deal with you.
£212 for the server, £100 cash back. Use the code MYVWIN25 at checkout for a further 2.5% off, meaning it's £112 delivered after the cash back.
£90 for another 4gb and you've got yourself a decent-ish server, which I will be running VSphere on myself.

Its not too noisy at all really, although our office has quite alot of ambient noise, only 1 fan for the whole system at the back pulling air from the front too which is good. Its pretty easy to remove the motherboard, as we added some more ram, but not shure if the CPU is user changable im afraid.
I'm currently running SBS 2008 on an AMD, it's unbelievably slow to do anything locally but fine across apps across the wire.

Tempted to use one of these as a NAS and run Linux from the internal USB slot. Would that be feasible? Any point in putting software RAID across all four drives and maybe a fifth via esata?
Thats how I intend running mine. ive read a number of people using the CDROM slot as a fifth drive too (and can confirm it has the power and extra sata slot ready to go); not sure about the esata connection. I heard the esata is not multi point either, so just a single disk.mikeh501 said:
