What remote do you plan on using?

No idea yet honestly. Cheapies or reasonably priced. Suggestions anyone?

You could also just use a xbmc remote app on your smartphone/tablet.

Exactly what I told him, get Flirc, I just checked and see Flirc is getting expensive but it's worth it.

Have had the Microserver for about a week now. Using it as a NAS with FreeNAS but I need more RAM. I understand it needs ECC RAM but it looks like you have to get a specific kind just for this server or am I wrong?

You can use non ECC RAM too.

Just don't mix with ECC memory, did not work well for me, machine used to blue screen once a day :-(

Finally Some good news out of HP Europe a few minutes ago

We should be getting in a batch of HP Proliant N54L with 250gb HDD in the next few days – I cannot quote pricing but it going to be a very-very good deal , much better priced then they currently are , we were hoping to get the 1000 units we have on backorder but that is not going to happen but it will be a substantial amount – will give you more feedback as soon as they arrive

Anyone heard from Esquire on the above?
