Now 279.00 down from 291.00

i had it in my basket last weekend and cancelled as cash is tight-ish but this is still VERY tempting.

Edit: Listed as 279 but when added to basket price is 310.48!
Also, when I click on the offer in the email offer from Dabs, it shows 279.99 in Firefox but in IE9 shows 310.48!

Shougeki

Got it from "Buy-IT2000 " in germany.

They dont seem to have any up atm. Try some other german sellers

All delivered fine, but CentOS on the 250, put 4x2TB drives in, installed some crap and all roesy

That last cashback form expired at end of last month - Any updated one?

howamidifferent

Just in case anyone hasnt been keeping up with other threads on these Microservers, its been shown by many that they work just great with 2 x 8GB sticks to allow 16GB ram.

Few examples:

Is the cashback offer still on? I'd be interested in putting one together to use as a media server.

NeoRox

Yeah its still on, well until the 31st May anyway.

You will find a link to the form on this page Link

Is the offer going to be extended again, like previous months??

In the old one at least, 4 sata ports and 1 for a DVD drive you could re-purpose. But you could use a USB stick for the OS if you are using some of Linux flavours. I have FreeNas running off a USB stick no problem.

i thought you could have 6 drives on the n40l, say 5, 2 or 3tb drives and an ssd for the OS. as far as i know there are 4 sata of the sas connection, there is another single sata port for an optical drive then you have the esata on the back. which in total is 6. i think there is a bios mod to enable hidden features where you can enable 3Gbps. this machine for 280 on dabs and 140 cashback ya cant go wrong

You may not get caschback buying from Amazon.

"The promotion is valid only on new units purchased and invoiced directly from HP or a IRL HP Preferred Partner."

The 280 price shown does not include VAT at 21%. Price including VAT is 336.

Anyone confirm that you cannot get the cashback on Amazon? They're selling for 179 sterling (italian seller).

Anyone tried Jaguar computers? Seems a bit cheaper.

id say they will sort it because there was samsung ssd's advertised at 99 euro but when you went to checkout they were 123 euro. somebody emailed them this, and i ended up getting 1 for 99 euro, this was a couple of days ago

Looking at getting one of these as it seems like too good an offer to pass up.:D

was looking at getting some extra ram for it too.
There is a 4Gb chip bundled for €117.23
But after a small bit of searching I found this 4Gb chip for €91.85
and this 4Gb chip for €69.31.

All look the exact same to me. Any reason I shouldn't get the cheapest one?

Non ECC RAM will work too, and can save a lot of money. Do you really need ECC??

Not Really. Going to be using it as a home media server.

Right Spotted 8Gb for €45. That'll do!
