    Still kicking myself for not getting one when HP were selling them direct for $199 + free shipping :( Anyone know if there's a newer model coming out any time soon?

    • leon on 04/10/2012 - 19:30

      same..

      • parker2004au on 04/10/2012 - 19:33

        You sure the $199 wasn't the N36L?

        edit: looks like you guys were right, they were around $200

      They have been selling them at <£100 ($158) after cashback in the UK recently. That deal has been going on for years, but the spate of <£100 prices does suggest that a box based on newer low power processors might be on the cards (there are lots of options for HP to go with).

  • rekabkram on 04/10/2012 - 19:39

    I thought the latest reports said that it was capable of housing 4tb hdd's and extras with modding?

    • naira on 04/10/2012 - 19:42

      Those are specs given by HP but I am even using 16GB memory.

  • Merlict on 04/10/2012 - 20:05

    My enthusiasm for these has been dampened a bit by the new AMD apu's. It's really time for a new model I think

  • SteveAndBelle on 04/10/2012 - 20:07

    Can anyone here confirm that these N40Ls can handle 3 or 4TB drives? I found this on Overclockers: http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showpost.php?s=1a004fb39ab… but I need to dig further for more proof before I take the plunge.

    • bennymelb on 04/10/2012 - 20:15

      Here said someone used 4TB drive on the N40L and its working fine. hope this help. http://homeservershow.com/forums/index.php?/topic/3980-n40l-…

      The boot drive can't be bigger than 2TB, but the rest can.

      You can sort it out so that you can use a small SSD for your boot disk, and have up to 6 4TB disks if you don't mind a little DIY.

    • ihfree on 04/10/2012 - 21:55

      Have a N40L with a 3x3TB drives (2xWD red, 1xWD green). Using a 120gb laptop Hdd for boot.

      I have both the N36L and the N40L. My N40L is only running 4 x 2TB + 1 x 1TB in the ODD bay in a chasis that allows for a slim ODD also. My N36L has 4 x 3TB and 1 x 250 GB in the ODD bay. In both cases I used the bios mods recommended in the overclockers forum.

    • senorclean on 05/10/2012 - 08:19

      Mine has been running 4x3TB drives for 6 months with no problems. I'm also using a 120GB laptop drive to boot Solaris11.

    Just a word of caution, This deal doesn't include the 250GB HDD.

    • MadMapMan on 05/10/2012 - 07:20

      Just a word of caution, This deal doesn't include the 250GB HDD.

      Well spotted!

      FWIW, you can still get this model (N40L) at ShoppingExpress for $265 + shipping which includes the 250Gb HDD. Their price is until 8th Oct.

      • Anj1n on 05/10/2012 - 10:50

        I just checked the shopping express site and the model with 250GB HDD is showing as on sale at $249 until October 7.

    • SKiZO on 05/10/2012 - 20:03

      Indeed well spotted.
      No deal then.

  • Third_Gear on 04/10/2012 - 22:44

    I used mine as a htpc. According to my belkin metre thingy it uses about $9 a month in electricity. On 24/7. Great little box!

    • Russ on 04/10/2012 - 23:08

      If you turned it off after you finished using it, you would probably save about $100 a year from your electricity bill. In the first year, that saves enough money to pay for an SSD to make your boot-up time negligible. Thereafter, you save $100 per year - currently enough to buy a new 2TB SATA HDD each year.

      At least have your "htpc" go into hibernate when you aren't using it, don't waste power. Hibernate won't save as much power as turning it off at the wall, but it's an improvement.

        LOL. Mine both run 24/7 as a torrent box and HTPC and NAS. No can turn off.

          People still torrent? Lol usenet all the way, no issues with seeders or lack of peers, just full speed straight away.

        • davidl2 on 05/10/2012 - 03:54

          not everything available on usenet! ;-)

        • bigpallooka on 05/10/2012 - 10:37

          I must be old school. Although let's be honest… nothing is more old school than usenet no matter how well it works :D

        • MATTDAMON on 05/10/2012 - 11:44

          Thats right david, but 99.9% of what most people DL is available on there, combined with sickbeard means everything is automated, tv show episodes etc.

          What you cannot get on usenet, is normally available on a private direct download tracker anyways.

        • diddy50 on 05/10/2012 - 16:35

          Only rule about usenet, don't talk about it!

      • bargaino on 05/10/2012 - 00:40

        The N36L does not appear to support sleep mode, is this the same?
        No matter though as it is made as a server. Little point getting a low-power box if it is only on while you are watching.
        Mine stays on to record TV programs (mythtv) and uses a lot less than $9/month.

        • turbodude on 05/10/2012 - 08:48

          last time I checked my N40L doesn't support sleep mode, only hibernate.

      • Third_Gear on 05/10/2012 - 07:49

        I should have clarified but mine does more than just HTPC and is used through out the day. So turning it off and on all the time isn't an option.

      • RohBoat on 05/10/2012 - 10:15

        "If you turned it off after you finished using it, you would probably save about $100 a year from your electricity bill. In the first year."

        Light load, 3HDD = 42W
        42Wx 24H = 1.008KwH
        1.008KwH x 0.23c = 0.232c
        0.232c x 365 = $84.68/year to keep running.
