Are you a student? Dreamspark was giving away Server 2008 for free a while back, not sure if that's still active. __________________

Yea i have one, only reason is because officemax had it onsale for 299. I really don't like the thing. You have to install software to use it unless you really really know what your doing. I don't use windows so i can't install the ****ing software anyways. Regardless everything is proprietary, its ****ing stupid, and there is no working gigabit lan driver for linux so I can't take windows home server off. It can hold a lot more than 1.5tb (only redeeming factor) I heard there are some people pushing 12tb. You can fit 4 1.5tb hdds internally and the esata port has a chipset capable of addressing a sata multiplexer so you can add 4 external sata ports as well.
In the way of modding you can't really do...anything that good. Best mod would be to take this ****ing ****ty windows home server bull**** off.
If you run windows i guess the machine is "ok" at best. __________________ -Jeff
