HP ProLiant MicroServer

You guys do realize the PSU is only 150WATT and from what I can see the minimum recommend PSU for a GT520 is 300WATT

Works absolutely fine. You're not doing any hectic 3d rendering so it doesn't need that power.

 

[dualmeister]

OK, long as you are aware of how much $$$ 1U power supplies cost. If you can find one that is

Okay, the next question is, where does one find a HDMI -> RCA convertor?!?

I suspect one of those will cost more than it's worth, not to mention HDCP issues and all of that.

Its cheaper to buy a new TV

OpenELEC is currently optimised for nVidia. Given the ease of setting it up including HDMI audio, I'd recommend nvidia.
520 supports HDMI1.4 and 3d, I don't think the 210 does?

Got the hd5450 coz of the price. Had hassles on Ubuntu. On openelec no issues. Even has ati hardware acceleration.

 

[Zarathustra]

Looking @ the special, am I correct that the server is supplied with a 250Gb hard drive?!?

 

[rorz0r]

Yes that is correct.
N36L and N40L both have 250GB hard drive
N36L has 1GB ram, N40L has 2GB ram

Do you guys know where to order the HP Proliant Microserver N40L from Esquire for R1199 (ex VAT)?
I got the advertisement via E-mail, but I couldn't find it in their online store...

I have already contacted 'Esquire' myBB user, but I haven't received a reply yet in over 3 hours.

Hehe, just as I posted this he replied:

It will on the webiste and online over the weekend as stock only came in yesterday my webmaster is busy updating the site as I type the PM

 

[Esquire]

I sleep in the wee hours of the morning like 2-3 am every day and up at 7:00 and at work at 8-9am everyday
Being doing this for the past 15 years

Just a head up already over 90 units are sold or pre-booked , please note that this is the last of the units at this price
The pricing is going to be over R 1000.00 more once these are sold out , I have had to limit the quantities this morning as I had MyBB members ordering 20 and 30 units
Had to limit them to max 5 units so everyone can get a chance to get at least one

Cape Town branches will get stock by Monday or Tuesday as stocks are leaving today at around 5PM so place your order with them now !!! speak to Graham or Allison

 

[Keeper]

Why limit people though? I never understood this "rule".

Isn't your whole business about exchanging products for money, supplying other people with things in which they can then markup and distribute further?
I mean, isn't this a bad sign to people who are interested in using your company as their main hardware distributor?

It's not like the person is going to keep all 30 units to himself anyway, and even if he did for some odd reason, what does it matter...



I dunno, maybe i'm just stupid here but If some people want 20-30 units that just means you have a great market for this product, and should rather focus on supplying MORE of these units, instead of LIMITING the buying of the unit itself.

 

[Esquire]

I agree with if we have quantity of a product but if you only have 200 units and have 3000+ MyBB don’t you think it is unfair
that not everyone can get hold of the product at a good price ??

The issue is that we cannot get anymore after this our new cost is R2399 excl vat for the same unit
Watch next week on the other sites that selling these units and you understand what I mean as everyone is going to increase their pricing by over R 1000+ As we took the last lot of 200 units at that price. so that why we limiting the amount you can purchase.

 

[rodga]

order placed!

So if I don't order now I'm screwed. This is not a desirable situation.
