HP 500-314

Upgrade from an old tired Dell T105 server that ran WHS 2003, now running WHS 2008. Found the 2.5" bay added a Crucial SSD as boot drive and have 2T built-in for data/backup storage. Stayed w/original 8G ram but will probably upgrade in future. Thing...

None so far, wish I had thought to buy an extra or 2 as you just can't find a deal like this around (even approaching BLACK FRIDAY)

I've been passively looking for a computer to use as a home server for about a year. When I saw this deal, I couldn't resist. The parts included cost about $480, even on good Newegg deals. I bought this for under $330, and it was an absolute steal. The...

OK, there were a few things I didn't like with this refurb, but nothing that would dissuade me from buying again. They are as follows ; It would be nice if it came with the cage for the hard drives and you could optionally remove it like I have with...

Great "bang for the buck" system. A8 is pretty fast. Integrated R7 video is pretty fast for light gaming. Works well with Windows 10 technical preview. Does have a 2.5" bay for an SSD

Build quality isn't great. Limited expandability. Should have 2 sticks of RAM. A lot of work to "downgrade" to Windows 7

LOOKS GOOD ON THE OUTSIDE

WIRELESS STINKS IN THIS UNIT. USELESS!

Motherboard has 4 memory slots (DDR3). Makes it easy to get to the 32 gig max memory with 4 8-gig dimms.

Tower case has just 1 3.5" drive bay, a design flaw. The motherboard has 6 SATA ports. This is plain bad design. Windows 8.1 is loaded with the usual bloatware.

Very quiet. You hardly know it is turned on ; Small footprint ; Fast boot ; Wireless and Gigabit Ethernet ; 64 bit OS ; 2 TB hard drive (drive spins down to save energy when not in use) ; Fast in general ; Qualifies for the free upgrade to Windows 10...

Win 8.1 (on a positive note, it qualifies for the free upgrade to Windows 10 when released later this year) ; keyboard and mouse are kinda cheap feeling, but work fine. I replaced them with a wireless set ; No serial port to plug in my UPS monitoring...
