I still haven't had the money to fill mine up with drives either, but I'm glad I bought it because I know it's there ready to make good on when I can.

Don't tempt me (well not yet, maybe later in the month!)  I'm busy trying to save up for a new camera and I'll have a holiday to pay for soon, but I might be able to fit it on the old credit card so shhh don't tempt me.

Really quite tempted, I've been after something to stick all my erm linux distro on for easy access and these do look like they'll fit the bill quite nicely.  We'll see what the end of the month brings.

Not trying to tempt you but I'm well impressed with mine, absolutely faultless, it's been constantly on for a month now, doesn't run slow, deals with encoding for the ipad, both in real time and for upload, hosts my VPN which has given 100% reliability, hosts my linux distros over the network and plays them faultlessly over the network, and transfer speed for those computers on gigabit is quick as!

Shhhhhhh!

Might be able to work it to be able to get one and worry about the drives later but I need to wait a few weeks first, will use the time to do a good bit reading up on them.

Arf, I'm getting seriously tempted now. Mainly because I've moved into a new house and would love to turn the airing cupboard, which is mostly empty right now, into my own little server room. Its gonna be a long term undertaking but I have Cat6 cable awaiting installation so this would be the perfect starter to my system.

Another +1 from me. I love my microserver, its been on since I've had it 2 months ago and happily does my downloading and streaming. Its just not quite powerful enough to re-encode on the fly using PLEX but hey can't win em all.

Well I've ordered one yesterday from Dabs, just have to hope that with the offer expiring today and that I haven't got it delivered or what appears to be an invoice from Dabs I can still claim the cashback.  I've got a details of my order but the dabs email has on it

"We won't take any money from your chosen payment method until we're ready to despatch, at which point your order will be officially "accepted". We'll confirm this in writing by email on the evening of despatch. This email will also contain your delivery consignment number, along with advice on how to track your delivery during transit. Please make arrangements for someone to receive your parcel(s)."

So I'll have to hope that's enough for HP along with whatever email I get from Dabs saying its been dispatched which I presume I'll get tomorrow (est delivery is the 2nd)  If its not it'll be going straight back to Dabs me thinks!

To be honest one of the three things could happen:

- HP extend the offer yet again! You get your cash back!

- Dabs put today's date on the order, even though it's not accepted until after.. You get your cash back!

- Dab's put Mondays date on the order, HP don't extend the offer, you Photoshop the invoice date.. You get your cash back!

lol quite true, will wait and see what I get from Dabs tomorrow!

Well got the server, but haven't got confirmation of my cash back yet so I haven't opened it, all I've got so far is something from a guy saying he'll print it off and process it as soon as he can and that was first thing on Monday.  So far its doing a good job of being a paperweight!

Sounds like it has gone through to be honest!

And also.. Offer extended to the 31st of August!

Yarrrr!

lol in that case nothing to worry about, best go get it out the box and have a play then!

woop woop cash back approved, now to get saving for some drives and more memory.

Speaking of memory found that apparently this stuff works fine with it and won't break the bank, £21 for 4GB of RAM, not too bad.
