I thought this was a pretty decent deal for a Proliant server, even though it is only single socket.

You will need to supply more RAM of course (unbuffered ECC ram) so that will be another $300.00. But it doesnt need to be HP-branded smart memory.

Only the single SATA hard drive as well, although it does support hardware based RAID and SAS drives from what I can tell.

I built a server for one of our offices recently and even from scratch it wasnt as cheap as this, so I feel like a bit of a dill honestly.

      Thanks for that. Unfortunately I noted this in the T and Cs:-

      "This cash-back is only available on HP ProLiant Models ML310, ML310e, ML350e, ML350p when purchased together with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 or Microsoft Small Business Server 2011 Reseller Option Kit."

      I dont think that Harris carries SBS 2011. Maybe I can check.

    Looks like in store pickup only.

    You can get 8GB of Unbuffered ECC DDR3 Ram on ebay for resonably cheap. Like $80-90 per stick.

    Thats what I did when I had to get some for my Microserver.

    …I don't get what it's for. It's basically a tower PC with an ILO, a year's warranty, not enough RAM and no OS, for $670.

    It seems pricey for use as a NAS, there's no HDMI-out for desktop/home theatre use, and if you're wanting compute speed wouldn't you go with a rack mount form factor?

      Its a PC with ilo, hardware based raid support incl SAS drives if you need them and a Xeon processor.

      By way if illustration, the same CPU currently sells at umart for $279.00. An Intel server board currently sells for 200-odd, so just an equivalent board and CPU costs nearly as much as this machine.

      I am not suggesting this is or should be for home use.

    try getting a good quality gen8 smart hdd caddy for these. I bought 8 from amazon@50 each and it took almost 2 months!!!! HP is quite sneaky on gen8's tower servers. all the "additives" example licenses (ilo, smartarray, etc), memory and hp hdd will cost more than the server unit itself.

      Thanks for the info. Do you need those caddies in order to add hard drives?
