Not for everyone I know but HP are doing a buy one get one free on their Gen9 10 and 100 series servers. I got this from my reseller today (not ServersPlus, they were just the cheapest for a DL180 and had a link to the deal). As a bonus if you buy a 3 year warranty they give you a second free too.
Also a free 2nd processor on the Gen9 300 series.
It's worth noting this is a cashback so you have to pay for both to begin with then get the +VAT value back from HP
These offers are all in addition to the ongoing cash back deals on ROK licenses
£50 – Foundation 2012 R2
£50 – Essentials 2012 R2
£150 – Standard 2012 R2
£600 – Datacentre 2012 R2
All the T&C’s are on the attachments from HP.

Lol yeah I work in server support. With only minimal googling I can identify the difference between a blade server and a rack mounted server
"Have you got any lemons"
"sure have these limes"
"but they arnt lemons"
"Dont be pedantic, they are both citrus fruits"
"yeah they wont work with my lemon tart though"

This guy doesn't know when to just admit he was wrong. Nothing pedantic about it; blade is a blade, rack mount is rack mount and a tower is a tower. These things aren't interchangeable as they're fairly critical to the definition of the device.
being blades not really much good for home use but decent deal.

Unless you want a VM lab... I have two DL380 G7 machines. I know, overkill :smirk:

Sorry, which models are blades? Just FYI blades normally start 'BL' and fit in the C3000 or C7000 chassis.

Ok if you wish to be pedantic....rack mounted.

To be fair they have a point, but you're still right, they arn't for your normal household.
There are however quite a few people that do buy servers like these, usally 2nd hand ones granted, for their homes. I would have one of these over a microserver any day if I was able to swallow double the cost. Having said that, the Xeon Gen9 microserver costs a fair bit closer to these

Would be interested in why people are voting cold. Two Gen9 servers with 3 year parts warranty for £800 including next day delivery. Where else offers that? Dell?
