I'm probably going to go for the TS150 which is the Lenovo TS140 replacement but I'm not sure if it's officially been released in the UK. The upgrade parts I'd need don't seem to be available here yet.
Still researching....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

You can get T150 from ServerPlus - This is the one with cashback. I have used them before and satisfied with the service.Comment

Does it have a LOM/FSP? Proper busy-box on a wee card controlling the power?
I had an HP Microserver, hated it, even my son wouldn't have it, don't even know where it is now. Bought a quarter rack if IBM bit sight unseen for £200, there was an X3550 in there with 128gb, doesn't draw a huge amount, about 150w last time i had the meter on it, not as frugal as these PC's-with-knobs-on, but a good compromise for me.
In that rack there was a couple more IBM X-series more powerful but less specced, and DS3400 and EXP3400, TS3100 and an IBM (Brocade) 16 port Fibre switch all ports licenced, sweet...
There was even 16 LTO3 tapes in the TS3100 with the former owners data on.Comment
