HP ProLiant MicroServer

I can possibly get the new n40l machine with the std 2Gb ram and 250GB HDD for R950. Part number is 658553-421. Let me know if you guys want in and send me a PM.
 
in JHB.. but can send down to CPT too (if enough demand is there to group shipment)

Dunno.. would probably kill the deal though and make it more expensive than other online retailers.
 
Purchased my server from Bluetek for R1149 inc delivery, excellent service from them - e.t.a 3 days :)
Will let you guys know on my progress !
 
Last time (about a week ago) I check with Esquire CPT they still had stock ex CPT at R1149 ex VAT.
 
What SATA is on the motherboard of the N40L? I see there's a custom rom for it as well
 
Uhm.. not sure on the spec.. but it's got normal sata pluggy.. same as the 1st one and yeah... I believe there's a custom rom out for this one too, just liek the n35l

Allows the ODD port (internal sata) and esata port to run at full speeds. I think there's also some advanced settings it unlocks but not sure. I just wanted it for the sata port speeds.

ah yes, i remember the previous post about that now
 
The kids got a hold of the remote while I was at work today and boy did they do a job on my Openelec. Half of the media was deleted (as in gone) and another 25% was removed from the library. Now XBMC won't even add the new content. I have removed all sources and removed them from the library; cleaned the database; but XBMC refuses to add any media. I can find it in file view and can set the content and refresh items within the path, but it will not add media to tv shows or movies whatsoever - even though all of the nfo and related data is in the folders and even though it shows the content being added episode by episode; movie by movie. I tried deleting the videos60.db file but to no avail.

Guess I'm set for a reinstall. This is quite a journey, I must say...

I tried. I swear, I really tried...until she lied about it and tried to cover her tracks. She's now laptop-less and has doubled her chores...

I got the N40L a while back and am very happy with it. The BIOS loaded on it as stock managed to pick up a normal SATA hard drive connected to the 5th sata port and registered it as an AHCI device, there also was an option for the link speed (1.5GBs/3.0GBs/Auto) I just left on auto and it worked perfectly fine, didn't notice any slow down but dont have an SSD.

I did find a custom BIOS from a site but didn't really need much of its features anyway....

Try changing content in the source. Then change it back.

Tried that numerous times already.

EDIT: wait - in the source? What do you mean in the source? As in the parent directory or changing the content of the actual drive it is sitting on?
