We’re still awaiting news of the release of HP’s next generation MediaSmart Server in Europe – we’ve been told a separate announcement is planned next month.
However, looks like a few online retailers in the UK already have the EX490 listed on their sites:
Amazon.co.uk
More Computers – £453.24
Kikatek – £424.66
LambdaTek – £427.21
Obviously no stock available at this point, and no sign of the EX495 either at this point, but looks like we can safely say that the UK will be getting the new HP MediaSmart Server in the coming months. Expect the models to pop up at more sites in the coming weeks.

WHY is HP chosing to not release the EX495 in Europe??? Once again HPs market department behaves really strange, what's wrong with you guys?

Hang on there! The EX495 will be released here, I’m sure…

is there any further update on when the EX490 will be available in Europe?

All listed dealers here have removed their "expected by" dates….Are HP playing up on delivery dates?

Wow, Amazon.co.uk even removed it from their shop!
What's going on?

Apparently, HP tell me that wholesalers have sold out and are fast tracking more units into the UK as we speak….

Are there any any retail shops that let you see a windows home server running? I stil don't yet see the advantage over a NAS.

I've found this company (http://www.serversplus.com) who are getting some in this week I called them up. Dunno if they're any good but have a look anyway.
