HP MediaSmart Server for $252

By on October 22, 2009 in Uncategorized

Looks like Newegg are clearing out their stock of the first generation HP EX470 MediaSmart Server.

59 105 564 02 HP MediaSmart Server for $252 HP MediaSmart Server for $252

The EX470 is available for $279.99 and you can get an extra reduction by using the coupon code HP1X191, taking the price down to just $252.

Worried it’s a little old? Fear not, slap a 2GB RAM module into this guy, install the forthcoming 3.0 MediaSmart Server update, and you’ll have a decent home server! The processor’s a little long in the tooth, but should run the latest HP software reasonably. If you’re looking for a great home server at a top notch price, you could do a heck of a lot worse.

(Thanks to Scott for the tip!)

    You might want to update it to let people know it's re-certified.

    Anyways, I'm in for 1. My Blu-Ray and DVDs are making it necessary for one.

    This is tempting seeing how the power supply just went out on my EX470… And i already have the LE1640 processor and a 2gb stick. I'd just be worried about the PS going out again and being REALLY angry.

    I love the way there are making there web/image/server/

    Just got mine and plugged it in. Great box! I already had a PC buildt for WHS and had procrastinated buying the software. This deal was too good to pass up!

    Now I need to get through the WGS recommendations to see what to add (oh, and probably upgrade my RAM)!
