    BigPockets do refurb gear I believe - might be worth a look.
    Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

        you can pick up a new ML115 for very little and i can vouch they are a great buy: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=buy+ml115&meta=

        I used serversdirect.co.uk for mine and it arrived speedy.

          Durbs, what are you running on it? I'm looking for a host for SBS2008, which claims to need 4GB of RAM....

          Was considering a HP ML110 or a Dell SC440........

                They tend to have specials on from time to time, so worth checking back every now and again.

                  Was running 2008 Server on it and various other apps including Citrix and its now running Windows Home Server. This weekend it'll be wiped and running Windows 7 though.

                  This is with 1.5GB memory and its never been anything but speedy (plus Citrix can be really resource heavy).

                  4BG seems a big minimum spec for SBS2008! But even if you increased the memory up to that level it wouldnt cost a lot from Crucial.

                  Processor wise - even though its AMD, their recent server chips are certainly no slouch.

                    Thanks for all the help guys, found a really cheap ProLiant ML110 from PC World For Business of all places!
                    £179 + VAT! was £249 + VAT at servers direct.

                    Have ordered the extra memory from crucial
