[Chester LUG] Slightly OT: perfect little machine for a low(ish) power Linux server

[Sebastian Arcus]

I remember there being some talk at Liverpool LUG about a suitable 
machine for a low power home server. If anybody here is considering 
building a Linux server for either home or a small business, HP has this 
Proliant Microserver at only £159 (after cahsback). This includes a 
250GB hard-disk and 2GB ECC memory!

It seems to me this would make a cracking Linux server for home or a 
small business. I'm not entirely sure why is it so cheap - specially as 
it has a server grade mobo and RAM. Too bad I'm not about to build any 
server for clients at the moment - I'm almost tempted to buy one and 
keep it just in case.

No affiliation with HP or Ebuyer - I just thought somebody might benefit 
from the heads up.
