  • ccrap on 10/08/2011 - 02:52

    anyone in sydney change their mind/have a spare? plz PM me, many thanks!

    • EarthMan on 10/08/2011 - 09:17

      I feel many of us bought it on a whim because it was such a "bargain". I will find a good use for it nontheless.

      Hopefully, someone will pm you, it won't be me :)

      • ccrap on 10/08/2011 - 14:09

        thanks, enjoy the new toy :)

  • EarthMan on 10/08/2011 - 10:42

    Just got delivery at home address, can't wait to get home.
    SCPO3136xx
    No phone call from carrier.

    Shipment date 05/08
    Estimated delivery was meant to be 12/08

    Tried to call HP to fix the warranty to start from today and not from invoice date, I went through a maze of dial this dial that number. I give up. If anyone succeeded pls let us know how.

  • Domingo on 10/08/2011 - 11:59

    In the same boat as ccrap, except in Melbourne. If anyone has one they don't want, I'd be happy to give it a good home.

  • yamumma on 10/08/2011 - 12:39

    SCPO314XXX order for a single unit just got delivered to Perth CBD work address. Didn't get a shipping email and haven't checked here for awhile, so a nice surprise.

  • w0lf on 10/08/2011 - 12:54

    Got mine yesterday, SCPO314*** to Mildura. Very happy with it so far

    Pity my 2TB WD Green I put in last night has already crapped itself :(

  • olddog on 10/08/2011 - 12:55

    Any Brisbane buyer got the unit delivered yet ?

    The online track information really confused me. It shows the unit was released from customs on 5th Aug now it says departed from Port of Export back in SINGAPORE SG.

    • flyingtrapeze on 10/08/2011 - 13:02

      mine was delivered yesterday

      • olddog on 10/08/2011 - 13:09

        By which courier company? TNT or Startrack

        What's your track information after customs realeased

        Cheers

        • flyingtrapeze on 10/08/2011 - 13:12

          not sure. it was delivered to my in-laws who signed for it. box was sitting in the house with another delivery from artscow. did not read the delivery note as to who delivered it. do you need me to look it up tonight?

        • Bappy on 11/08/2011 - 10:28

          TNT

  • olddog on 10/08/2011 - 13:25

    That will be great!
    Just cann't wait anymore

    • flyingtrapeze on 10/08/2011 - 13:27

      have u noticed your hp order is for a shipment of 6 PCs on a qantas flight bought for Brissy from Singapore. maybe ours were in the same batch.

      • olddog on 10/08/2011 - 14:20

        My one is in 5pcs group maybe different from yours. It may explain that you received your unit earlier.
        Thanks anyway

  • Manesman on 10/08/2011 - 19:43

    Mine arrived about 2PM today. Delivered by TNT. Lowish SCPO312xx order.

    Running memtest86 with the 8GB non-ECC memory now (so far so good).

    Installed a combined slim DVD and 3.5" hotswap tray in the top bay. The HDD is connected to the internal SATA port and the DVD is connected to an IDE->USB converter and connected to the internal USB port.

    DVD boots properly (Hiren, Windows Server etc) even on USB.

  • lyonesse9 on 11/08/2011 - 12:39

  • olddog on 11/08/2011 - 15:24

    Finally, TNT redelivered my unit after I "missed" the first delivery on 8th Aug with someone at home all the time. The long waiting story comes to a happy end. All the best for those who are still waiting for the machines.

    • couger on 12/08/2011 - 09:56

      30$ gigabyte 512m 5450 from msy, cheapest i can find with ok performance. No problems to decode my 1080p bluray under my home server 2011

    • tatasauce on 12/08/2011 - 16:58

      The one on MSY is cheap.

      Apparently 1GB does not make a difference, not even for $9 more. Correct me if I'm wrong. Cause I'm going to buy the 512MB and would go 1GB otherwise. =)

      • Redmo0n on 12/08/2011 - 21:35

        Should be the same for video content :)

      was ur status still is admin when you received the server?

  • retro7 on 13/08/2011 - 18:27

    Anyone had any joy with freenas. I put version 8 on a stick and got it working nicely with 2 x 2tb WD green drives. Then I decided I would rather use the hardware raid and set the drives up in a mirror and now freenas won't boot. I've searched but found very little on the topic, anyone tried this successfully. Freenas is nice but ideally I'd like the underlying mirror.

  • frats on 13/08/2011 - 21:40

    Got mine on Tuesday and very happy with it. Installed a 5450 and it hasn't missed a beat with all the media ive thrown at it. Having some grief transmitting 5.1 via the hdmi though. Believe it's could be a driver issue cos when you go to the sound properties it only shows 2 channel available on the drop down. Tried both ati (from the cd it came with) and realtek drivers (r261 & r263). The setup I have is 5450 —> hdmi —> samsung tv —> optical —> avr. I checked for a forum on here for these bad boys but couldnt find anything.
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    • DJ on 13/08/2011 - 22:03

      Your TV is limiting the HDMI to 2 channel. You need to go 5450 -> HDMI -> receiver -> 5450 -> TV

      • frats on 13/08/2011 - 22:26

        Thanks for the quick response I thought that may have been the case. Only prob I have now is my avr doesn't have a hdmi in only optical so I may have to get a PCIe card with optical and hdmi - any suggestions? If anyone is interested in a basically new HIS radeon hd 5450 512mb card pm me, I'm in laverton, Melbourne.

  • Domingo on 14/08/2011 - 01:35

    Got my server working as a NAS using FreeNAS with a ZFS file system. Put a F4 spinpoint 2TB, 4 gig of ram and a 4 gig USB for the OS, seems to be working well. My HTPC streams off it happily.

    In case anyone else intends to try this, use FreeNAS 7. FreeNAS 8 is still new and doesn't have UPNP or lots of other handy features - these are intended to be added to a later version, but don't exist yet.

    Assuming my ZFS setup goes as planned, when the HDD is full I will just add another under the same logical volume, so it will just look like one 4TB HDD to the rest of the network. Hopefully the drives will come down in price too.

    • sickburn on 15/08/2011 - 09:01

      Any tips for a first timer with FreeNAS? Did you follow any guides?

      • some_one_some_where on 16/08/2011 - 20:40

        This is good starting point, http://www.learnfreenas.com/blog/ but has been indicated earlier stick with FreeNAS 7 instead of 8 for now due to early developmental stage.

        • Tenebrae on 17/08/2011 - 09:24

          I went with 8 and it's not worth the effort to start over. Will just have to hope they develop the features I want (Time Machine support, iTunes server, torrent client) sooner rather than later…

  • Redmo0n on 16/08/2011 - 22:21

    Trying to set my HTPC up has been pretty annoying, I had a BSOD after installing windows multiple times only to find it was the ram (2GB stick from netplus) and now the bootloader is missing as it installed it onto my usb stick as it was the active partition.

    • UFO on 17/08/2011 - 09:17

      If you are installing from USB (as opposed to from the DVD installation disk), dont get frustrated when it asks for a driver disk at the beginning of the install. My install stopped because it couldnt find cd rom drivers or something (even though I dont have an optical drive installed). Just cancel install by clicking right hand corner and it'll take you back to install menu. Swap flash drive to a different USB port then just start install again and for some reason it works. It took me hours of net trawling to find this solution (after many frustrating hours trying to get install to work off flash drive). Hope this helps someone reading.

    Anyone still in "Admin" status? Mine has the "Last Change:" field changed several times but still in Admin :(

    • chylld on 23/08/2011 - 09:27

      yep, still waiting here… meanwhile everyone around me has had their's shipped :(

      no response from HP either

      still don't know what i'm going to do with them though, so not terribly upset :)

    • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2011 - 09:37

      Still in Admin too, looks like the wait will continue….low SCPO314XXX, last change 17/08 date to follow.

    • mindapoocha on 23/08/2011 - 09:43

      Ordered 2 (two seperate orders - few hours apart). Recieved first earlier this month. Other order is still in admin. Not sure if I should cancel and get my money back.

      • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2011 - 09:49

        Same here, mid SCPO313XXX so about 600 orders apart, received on the 10th.

        No clue how they assign deliveries to orders, obviously not sequentially though. Hard to tell if manufacturing has slowed or they were able to pull stock assigned to other regions to fulfill some orders in Oz.

        • chylld on 23/08/2011 - 09:52

          in case it wasn't already painfully obvious, they're doing the same thing ShoppingSquare did with the SGS2 debacle.

          essentially they received more orders than anticipated at too low a price, so they're delaying orders as long as possible in hope that people will cancel and they can then sell them to other people at higher prices.

          it's just business sigh btw SCPO3135XX here.

        • [Deactivated] on 23/08/2011 - 10:02

          Appears to be the case, keeping an eye on some of the orders around mine and while some have been delivered others that were in admin have now been cancelled.

          I ordered the second one close to the end of the deal and had to contact HP as to why my payment had not been accepted, they had to approve it apparently as they had become aware that orders had exceeded their expectations. Soon after it was allowed to proceed and funds were taken from my account for the order.

          Maybe the only positive is that those that are still waiting for their order to proceed may get an alternative model….better one?…as I would expect that having accepted our payment they are obligated to deliver a within a reasonable time frame.

          I have not received an update to the September delivery date so they still have some time up there sleeve.

    • ho-ly phuc on 23/08/2011 - 10:02

      My order's "Last Change:" was updated again today to "22-Aug-2011 23:42 GMT". Don't know wth HP is doing. I already have all HD's, tv card, memory for it, even upgraded the home network to cat6 cables and router. All for something I paid for but never arrive.

  • mobius on 25/08/2011 - 18:22

    Finally got my setup;

    2TB Seagate Green Drive
    4GB 1333 KIT Kingston Ram (sold out of g.skill)
    ASUS 6450 1GB silent

    O/S Windows 7 64bit

    My PS3 died so I'm going to use;
    PlayTV for Tuner with 64bit drivers for Windows
    Bluetooth Remote with 64bit drivers for Windows

    Just in the market for a wireless keyboard mouse combo.

  • chylld on 26/08/2011 - 13:49

    I am disgusted that HP has effectively given me the finger by fulfilling over 10 orders both immediately before and after mine. Also that all of my requests for a status update were ignored, except for the last one where I wanted to cancel which was answered within a few hours.

    For those who are still waiting, apparently new stock is due on 10/9/2011 but there is still no guarantee your order will be fulfilled. In the meantime, if you genuinely want one of these machines, I recommend Warcom or any other vendor that can actually fulfil a promise.

      But the fact is if you buy elsewhere HP will still have your money!

      • chylld on 26/08/2011 - 14:02

        i don't care who has my money, as long as i get a product in return. i figured that's how "buying" worked? HP apparently doesn't think so, at least not in my case

    • umonroe on 26/08/2011 - 14:16

      Yeh not happy here either…. Ordered two of these, status is still Admin. I've sent emails, no response and I DONT want to cancel GRRRRRRRR

      1.5 months, no email, no contact, no nothing, except for a Credit Card charge. Thanks HP….
