warehouse1 sells for $199 + $21.95 delivery but advertises a 1TB HDD installed confirmed by sund00bie
Thanks! got one …. I have an aging fleet of N36L's that are throwing their 2TB disks slowly. I had actually just bought/built an i7 box to replace a few of them about a week ago but this was too good to pass up! :)
I will end up with a xeon and 32gb of ram in this one at some point.
Thanks OzBargain for destroying my wallet time and time again.
Worth it for an upgrade for an N54? I can't stream plex fully right now and that would be my goal. Currently flawless with Kodi over lan though.
I gave up on plex and transcoding on any microserver. (n36l or gen8)
Now I just use my main pc (i7) as the plex server and microserver for storage and cctv.
Save your money if that is the only reason you need to upgrade.
Fair enough. I'm having better success with Emby off the N54 right now anyway. Thought the extra power might help some higher bitrate content.
odd my gen8 transcodes with absolutely no issues at all, running a hypervisor under Linux assigned only 2 cores and 2GB of ram.
its also running 2 instances of windows (+SQL server) and another one of Linux (no GUI)

although that said…
..
xeon e3 1270 v2
Awww rub it in why don't ya.
sorry, I didn't mean to brag, I just meant to say if your not running a hypervisor, and have all CPUs assigned to your VM, I would have thought the standard CPU should be able to transcode no problems… that said… windows?
Thanks OP. Bought one to replace my microserver.
Anyone know which generation microserver I have? It's got the amd turdion 1.2ghz cpu, 1gb ram and came with a 250gb hdd? It was the first generation to be released, but gen 1 microserver doesn't bring up anything relevant on Google.
N36L was the first model.
Thanks. That's it.
I cant seem to register to create an account on the pclan site anyone else ?
Also what is shipping charge on there site ?
Ordered this to replace my old N40L
Ended up purchasing this as a server for the home office. So nice and tax deductible for the wife…
Any suggestions on what to buy to upgrade this to 8 or 16GB of RAM?
I went through the Paypal checkout got an error and then a email from paypal saying "You submitted an order amounting to $203.95 AUD to PC LAN Pty Ltd
Your account will be charged when PC LAN Pty Ltd processes your payment. You may receive further emails when they do"
Am i all good or should i contact them?
Umming and Arrring over this vs the Gen8 Microserver… I don't need the extra room but I do want to put a GPU in it to make Plex Media box (not just server)
Also noticed this version with the low-power quad-core Xeon instead for $425 + shipping at Newegg

Out of stock.
Yeh but it'll be back hopefully - I can wait.
Might be worth a shot, but you know this is a stock runout of an old model, right ? I wouldn't hold your breath.
Just a heads up guys - I received all 3 of mine quite quickly, but when I looked up their warranty details HP had listed the warranty expiring in mid july. I've had to log a case with them to get this updated and provide proof of purchase, might be worth checking if yours are also affected.
I've had that happen with hp printers in the past. All you need is proof of purchase (tax invoice) and they cover it..
Now $219.00
+$21.95 delivery
Very tempting upgrade for my 3 old Microserver N36L servers.
