  If you use ServerPlus (and support the smaller British guy) it works out pretty much the same price as Amazon and you can get free next day with code MSFREENDUK.
  I got mine from them and their service was excellent.

  
  
  
  ah didn't realize they were a local company. placed my order with amazon - not too fussed with delivery, won't be setting it up until the next week or the week after.

  Clearly this is a good deal, but I'm a bit confused over the difference and advantages/disadvantages over a synology/qnap nas box? (I already have a synology ds209). I tend to mainly store media files, pictures (approx 6TB of important images) etc. but link to my Logitech Touch via squeezbox. anyone got a few seconds to give an pointers? ;Presumably a Drobo is different again, just passive storage?

  The price is miss leading, so cold from me

  
  
  Deal price is £239 - title clearly says £129 with £110 cashback, must be super thick not to understand the deal.
  

  
  
  My first thought on reading was surely the OP meant to say "£239 (£129 after £110 cashback)"; because "£129 with £110 cashback" would give you a price of £19 after cashback.

  ...If you wanted to be helpful, the least you could've done is re-word it!

  
  
  I think that's the job of the OP or Mods - normal souls like us can't change deal titles.
  
  Pretty easy to work out what you meant of course and not a reason to vote cold; I guess you realise leeparsons was just joshing you;)

  Don't buy unless its from Amazon directly. You may have trouble with the cashback.
  
  Better to get it from here: http://www.serversplus.com/servers/tower_servers/hp_tower_servers/658553-421
  
  Then use MSFREENDUK code for free next day delivery.

  They are pretty quiet. My N36L uses Max 45W under load (5 HDs spinning). I keep it on 24/7 so costs approx £50 a year to run.

  Clearly this is a good deal, but I'm a bit confused over the difference and advantages/disadvantages over a synology/qnap nas box? (I already have a synology ds209).

  Hey... if you just looking for a NAS, i suppose your ds209 should suffice. But if you are looking for an "upgrade" to a 4 bay NAS and still want to keep the cost low, the microserver is a superb kit but need lots of setting up unlike a NAS like ds209. And if you want to do more than a NAS (HTPC for instance) then the N40L is a no brainer...
  
  Have fun and btw, after cashback at 129 quid.. I think it's really a good buy...

  Serversplus is all ex vat prices - I'd recommend them though - I just got mine from there and had no problems and very quick free delivery using the code posted above
  
  edit - beaten to it by 2 people!

  In my experience, the difference between this and a NAS (Netgear ReadyNas DUO) is HUGE. Really can't describe how big a difference it had made.
  
  Yes probably it took longer to have it properly set up, but the lag, access speed is at a different level to a NAS. Write speed can be around 100MB/s on this, compared to a sustained rate of about 20MB/s on the NAS.
  
  I use this a a file server and a media PC. Works well for both roles.

  Actually I think you can (surprisingly)
