Morning Gents
I've posted a couple of times recently on the knock-out price HP Prolaint ML110 G4, but have also been reading with interest on the HP MediaSmart machines.
The Proliant seems such a bargain now - check this out, all prices courtesy of ebuyer.com of course!
1x ML110 G4 server, 1.8GHz Xeon dual-core, 512MB ECC, 160GB SATA - £169.99
2x Crucial 1GB ECC DDR2 667MHz RAM - £37.98
2x Western Digital 500GB RE2 hard drives (1.2M hrs MTBF, 16MB cache, ECC transfers) - £165.00
1x WHS OEM License - £85.20
Total £457 vs. EX470's £399 or there abouts.
So for an extra £60 you get dual cores, 2GB RAM, 160GB system and 2x 500GB enterprise disks, ECC protection on RAM and hard-disk transfers, 3 yr warantee on the server and 5 yrs on the 500GB disks.
As you may have guessed this is my set up, it wasn't such a bargain when I bought it though!
Anyway hopefully this will be of interest given the number of 'can I use xxx with yyy' recently.
Cheers!
