          This is kind of funny. Postage to WA is the same as other non-NSW states, but WA has higher insurance cost. It appears our posties are 19% more dodgy than those in other states.

        • bargainhunter on 14/04/2012 - 12:13

      That's quite decent shipping to Perth, thumbs up shopping express.
      For a microserver shipped to Perth, Dessytek want $18 and i-Tech want $35 (pfft).

    So is this quit easy to setup into a NAS? Ideally want something to store some data and act as a continious backup (using Crashplan) and perhaps my downloading machine (Torrents, usenet, etc). Would that all be possible? Newb to the world of NAS/microservers

    What would one of these go like for a Hyper-V box at home to play around with? Or not enough grunt?

      I upgraded the memory to 8GB and setup AD, DNS, Hyper-v. Seems to be running well although I was not doing much on the server. I guess it will depend on what you will do on the virtual instance.

        http://www.scorptec.com.au/product/41290

        I put one of these video cards in. Can make it single half slot or dual half slot if you want to keep the VGA connector. It is also passively cooled and low profile, so fits in quite easily. The same card in different brands is around at a slightly cheaper price, but I know this one fits in comfortably.

        Running Ubuntu on it with the gfx card doing video and audio over HDMI just with stock RAM, plays 1080p fine streaming over the network from my N36L :)

  • GreatWhiteHunter on 14/04/2012 - 07:16

    It's tempting as NAS, but what holds me back is that to have it operating 24/7 costs about $100/year in electricity (at 40 watts). Can anyone comment on how good these things are at "wake up on LAN", or scheduled "sleep"?

      • Make it so on 14/04/2012 - 15:09

    The processor in these (AMD Turion™ II Model Neo N40L (1.50Ghz)) looks rather poor? At least, it scores 10% less on PassMark CPU benchmark than the Celeron E1400 (2.0Ghz) in an old Shuttle.

      Just an update (after checking the warehouse): 80% of orders will go today (there are still constant orders coming through for this) - the warehouse packers are complaining they have no time to pack other products! Not sure if yours is going out today, but we should sort out all HP orders by tomorrow if we able to continue this momentum.

        One is for Media storage using Win home server, another for Full server setup such as DNS, AD, Hyper-V, and the 3rd one is for NAS. Two servers are work related.
