General Info

On the 21st of September 2010, Stanza posted a thread in the storage & Backup section of OCAU's forums discussing the HP N36L MicroServer. Since then ownership of these servers has taken off wildly amongst OCAU members and world-wide.

The servers themselves are small, inexpensive (currently $225 - 250 is standard) and have plenty of functionality and expandability making them perfect for enthusiasts like those who frequent the OCAU forums.

People commonly use them as a NAS or a HTPC, with others looking at virtualisation and clustering.
