If you are in the market for a cheap, and I do mean cheap server, then you really should take a look at the HP ProLiant MicroServer which currently has a £100 cashback offer taking it down to a silly price of £119 including VAT!
That’s right – you can get the HP ProLiant MicroServer for under £120!!!! It doesn’t come with any operating system, but it comes with everything else.

You can learn more about the HP ProLiant MicroServer from the HP website.
You can order it below and then just visit the HP page for details on claiming your £100 back.
I’ve just ordered one so I will let you know if there are any problems!
Don’t worry that the offer says you must claim before the end of December 2010, HP have extended the offer until the end of January 2011 – but jump quickly and stock will become short and VAT goes up on the 4th of January!
And thanks to new forum member ShadowFixer for pointing me in the direction of the MicroServer deal before Christmas – sorry it has taken me nearly 2 weeks to post it!
I orderd one of these 2 weeks ago. The rebait from HP is on its way.
This is really a nice little machine but you will want to upgrade the memory from the 1gig it comes with. Also be aware that the unit dosen't come with any ODD. Runs silent and cool, and has a sturdy feel.
Not to sure if this would be any good for WHS as there seems to be a shortage of Win2003 x32 drivers availible. As I didn't buy it for this for me its not a problem. I have untangle installed on it which has been running since the 8/12 without issue.
Hope you enjoy your new perchase Andrew
Yes but when you live i denmark there is no cashback..
you would need to know a friend in the UK..
Anybody want to be my friend
