Hi Gopes
Check the main thread for this - http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/333460-HP-ProLiant-MicroServer - and they might be able to talk you through it. Failing which, you would probably find someone on that thread in PE that can help you out.

If you're going to be using it as a HTPC you're going to need to get a low-profile graphics card with HDMI out for it for 2 reasons:
1) to actually render and display video content (especially HD)
2) for audio out over HDMI (there is no on board sound card in the HP MicroServer)
Then I would recommend increasing the RAM to at least 4GB, but if you're on a budget you can survive for now with the 2GB that is included.
Do you have an operating system that you would like for your base or would you just like to run XBMC as the "OS"? Also how many hard drives do you have in the box and how are they partitioned?
I know, but that is why I want to find out how he plans to run the machine with regard to OS first
