CyberPower Windows Home Server 100

image

It would seem that OEMs like HP are not the only ones catching Windows Home Server fever. CyberPower Inc., a manufacturer of custom gaming machines, notebook systems, and high performance workstation announced today announced its Windows Home Server 100. It is based on the dual core Atom 330 Intel D945GCLF2 mainboard (the same board that powers my 10TB Rack Server). It is all off the shelf components, but if you are leery about doing it yourself, this may be a viable alternative.

Here are the specs:

  • CASE: InWin BM639 Mini-ITX Home Server Case
  • CPU + Mainboard: Intel® Atom™ 330 1.6GHz 533MHz 1MB L2 Cache Processor + Intel D945GCLF2 DDR2/667 Mini-ITX Mainboard w/ Video, Audio, & Gigabit LAN
  • MEMORY: 2GB (2GBx1) PC2-4200 DDR2-533 Memory
  • Data Hard Drive: 500GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM Hard Drive
  • OS: Microsoft® Windows® Home Server OEM Version
  • SERVICE: STANDARD WARRANTY: 3-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY PLUS LIFE-TIME TECHNICAL SUPPORT

List price of the configuration above is $399. See the CyberPower website for ore information.

Fin. Why not comment on what you've just read or even Digg It!

Seems like a good deal, since the parts alone cost almost as much at newegg.

Anyone know how many drives this will hold? How would this compare to one of the HP MSEX48x machines?
