Still no dates yet, Craig. Nothing stopping you importing one if you can find a dealer willing to do it. All of HP's home servers auto switch the voltage nicely. I haven't blown one up yet!

Still no news on a UK launch? Am in the market for a new server to be at the centre of a new home we're renovating at this seems ideal.

If nothing is forthcoming on UK launch, am I right that there's nothing to stop me buying one in the US and shipping it back? ie the voltage will be switchable from 110 to 230?

John: No, the new one is Intel based, the old one was AMD based.

Smart Power Management & Time Machine: Was there a software update that I’m not aware of? I thought the power management was only available via third party plugin and I’ve never heard that Time Machine would connect to a WHS. Is there a How-To that documents this?
