Over in the USA, system builder Systemax are now offering the Windows Home Server-based EV745 Media Server through Tiger Direct.
Whilst the chassis won’t win any design awards, $649 buys you a pretty reasonable home server specification, and a variety of upgrade options are also available to help you beef up the home server as you need.

| Processor | Intel Celeron Dual Core E1200 1.6GHz |
| Memory | 1GB DDR2 800MHz PC6400 Memory (1GB x 1) |
