Happy friday.

    When will it be on sale for $99 again?

    • +15

      Good luck.

      Hi Guys,

      Our apologies, there is an error in our system that keeps putting this to $99, we have now found and corrected it and it shouldnt recur.

      We are already selling these below our cost at $159 and cannot support at $99, we did let some orders through on a previous occasion as an act of goodwill towards ozbargainers, but we cant lose this much again and for the 5 or so people that managed to get an order through today, we unfortunately need to immediately refund them.

      This was not a deliberate "bait and switch" as someone said above, we certainly didnt try to promote anything… just a complex system with many thousands of products and an issue we couldnt find until now.

      Honestly we were suprised at how quickly people jumped onto this after it changed! #ozbargain

      We appreciate the support of the Ozbargain community, thanks for understanding.

    how does power usage compare to my n40l?

    • +1

      Hi Adam,

      it has a 350W PSU inside, i forget what the old N40L had.

      Above is a discussion forum on this unit, it mgiht have some info that helps :)

    • Better in most regards. Much faster CPU. Proper Pentium 3000 series. More modern I/O and chipset and more roomy.

      However, for a HTPC, it is unsuitable as the fan is very noisy.

      • I haven't really noticed the fan being noisy, although it spools up to 100% for maybe 2 seconds every 10 minutes or so then settles.

        • +1

          My fan is really quiet as well.
          I don't use as HTPC though, if I did I am sure I would notice, but it is quieter than my old 'always on' PC.

        • +1

          @andw:

          My ML10V2 is constantly sitting at 90% CPU in my lounge room and it's far quieter than any other PC/HTPC I've had.

          It does however spool to 100% for about 5 minutes when I first turn it on but then it stays quiet.

        • +1

          More than decade ago I was supporting a few hundred HP desktops at work and a small percentage of them would do the same thing. Every time there was a firmware update I would try it. Sometimes it seemed to help. At least one user told me that the fan problem stopped after a firmware update only to return a few months later.

          It's weird to think that they probably have the same bug in their systems all these years later.

      • Wow. It is always hard to gauge fan noise on Youtube but this doesn't sound good!

    Not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting our Services as a payment method.

    • +22

      2.49% for using paypal is rich. that's against paypal rules.

      • +8

        It's kinda rude though on behalf of PayPal, they can charge a percentage but the seller isn't allowed to pass on the costs?

      • +7

        2.49% for using paypal is rich. that's against paypal rules.

        The rules are designed to hide PayPal's real costs to customers (and the business). In a fairer world, these rules should be made illegal.

      • +3

        lol i read the OP as

        1 - Address
        2 - forty nine percent surcharge

        two and a half is much better than the forty nine i thought it was.

    • +5

      Many organisations do, including the ones selling airfares. How else would they absorb the costs? By increasing the costs of other payment methods, and then lose business to organisations which do not offer Paypal?
      As much as I hate surcharges, I think Paypal is not being realistic.

      • +4

        2.49% for paypal I have no gripes with, for Visa/Mastercard it's absurd…

        • +6

          I would hazard a guess that they support Visa/Mastercard through Paypal.

        • @Make it so:

          So move on from the 90's I guess is my point, it's a very cheap service to have for your business nowdays, not like it used to cost that's for sure.

        • @Yekul:

          But it still costs enough to have to forward that costs onto the customer?

        • +2

          @tranqme:

          But it's a core business practice now, not an "optional extra". An online shop and people are expected to pay via direct deposit to avoid extra charges? Which means waiting, no same day shipping, and potentially even missing out on stock for very popular items whilst payment clears.

          It's no different to accounting for wages, rent, electricity etc. it's an essential service.

          Fwiw, the bargain is good. No gripes there. Just think it's poor business to still charge people for using visa/MasterCard in this day and age (especially when there is no charge when it's done in store).

          Edit: re-read and realise no in store charge is only if via savings/cheque, which makes more sense as online payments go via credit.

        • @Yekul: and websites store your bank details get hacked and your details are gone to everyone with torrent access

        • @asa79:

          Oh yeah for sure. That has happened to me countless times now…
          (Sarcasm, hasn't happened once. In fact hasn't happened to anyone I even know :S)

          I run a micro business and to keep our Desktop Merchant Terminal / Mobile Terminal and Website C/Card functionality Open is $90 per month, which includes the first $1500 of sales on Mobile & $1500 on Desktop Terminal - then the fees vary from around 1.5% - 2% of turnover depending on the type of card people use (Reward Point / Corporate Cards have a higher fee to the merchant). If you want the be cranky about surcharges, please blame the banks and not the merchants. Nothing irks me more than Choice / ACCC prattling on about how merchants are no worse than 1% off when customers pay by C/Card - for really really small businesses thats just not true.

          @jason101:

          1% of sale margin not profts.

          Could be 20% of the proft margin.

          Why are people complaining you are getting a machine dirt cheap.

        • +1

          @jason101:

          "Micro business". Ie, completely different size business to the one in question. Apples with apples and all that. Yes I appreciate its more difficult for "micro businesses".

          As for 'great' deal, I said it was a good deal. But that doesn't mean the OP should be exempt from all criticism, especially about this sort of business practice. 2.5% is not just falling even, it's actually making a profit on visa/MasterCard transactions.

          Would love to see the stats on who actually paid via direct deposit on all orders made…

    • +4

      They're not the only shop that does this, Mwave also charges 2% as well.

      • +1

        2% not 2.49%

    • Payment surcharge is not accepted. But "Handling fee" is totally fine to them. OP can just change the wording from surcharge to handling and paypal will not do care.

    • Interesting that the OP is replying to every thread other than this one. Note to self, pass on deals from this seller.

      For reference I changed from Woolworths to Coles solely because Woolworths refused to accept Visa debit cards and I've never been back… It's the little things sometimes

      • +3

        Not only do WW accept visa debit cards but they now accept paypal. I don't shop at coles because they don't deliver to my area even tho their icecream is amazeballz

        • They do now, they didn't when I switched, it was that decision that lost them any sale to me in the future. I am aware that they do now but there's no altruistic reason for them to offer that service, they haemorrhaged customers because of a decision to save 1.7 cents (not percent) per transaction

    • +1

      instead of thinking of it as a surcharge maybe think of it as a 2.5℅ discount for using saving/cheque which costs the business nothing to process. It is and has been common practice for a long time in industries where the margins are tiny to pass on the cc costs to customers

    • +1

      I'm getting really sick of how hard it is to avoid these surcharges these days. It seems unless you either direct debit (not a fan), write a cheque (old school, often dodgy), or pay in cash (impossible online) you get stung.

      I thought the government had mandated these charges had to be reflective of the actual cost to businesses, I guess it's not in effect yet.

      Sorry op, your deal is good but not a fan of the surcharge, particularly for PayPal

    Matrox G200 - now that brought back memories from more than 15 years ago when that was a badass video card.

    Good for a Plex server? RAID options?

    • Only has softraid unless you add the hardware raid card. You can upgrade the CPU if you find you need more grunt, I've dropped a xeon 1241v3 into both of mine.

      • How is the noise? Is the memory also air ducted so that the fan speed remains low?

        • +1

          The ram is not in the air duct. Fan speed is normally quite low, but its not silent. I'd say its quite for a server, but not HTPC quiet.

      • how much did the xeon and hardware raid card set you back?

        • +1

          I spent more on the xeon than the initial server price! From memory about ~$400, but I wanted an ESXi build with hardware passthrough. HP has made ESXi very easy on this server as they have an install disk so you don't need to fiddle with drivers (if you have ever tried to install ESXi onto partially supported hardware you should know where i'm coming from!).

          I haven't added a hardware raid card and am just using the stock B120i controller at the moment. Its interface is a little clunky but seems stable. I don't see any reason why you couldn't add any RAID card to this build, no reason to have to stick with HP's offerings. Personally i've got a crossflashed IBM M1015 card sitting here that I will eventually try.

          Word of warning to people that are looking at these, they can be a little annoying to set up. You need to boot to HP's RAID management image if you want to change or manage the RAID, you need to boot to a different image to update BIOS. None of these are accessible in the bios as the server is missing HP's intelligent provisioning.

          A iLO advanced key is also really useful, but luckily (as mentioned above) these are available on ebay quite cheap.

        • @masuta: Such as this one? A one year license for AU$31.55
          http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HP-ILO-Advanced-582765-B21-/15175…

        • @masuta: ahh wow, surprised you've put in such an expensive (relatively) chipset onto this server, you're needs a way beyond mine :P
          I don't have a need for a ESXi config (yet), though I do want to run a couple of VMs on it for testing various applications.

          Good to hear that you reckon I can use any RAID card, I should have an older one lying around.

          Reading the other discussion, seems it is capable of powering 6 Drives, though it only has 4 bays? Is there space for the other 2 to sit inside the case in a makeshift rack?

          Ive got access to Server 2012 R2 so I was planning on just loading that up and create a nifty little home NAS / HTPC / VM Test environment

        • @nige0090: The one year license is only for support, the license should be life long.

        • @masuta: As far as I can tell there are two SKUs, one for 1 year iLO and one for unlimited iLo with 1 year support.

        • @The Land of Smeg:
          I went through this when i purchased my licenses. There is one sku with 1 year of support and upgrades and one with 3 years of support and upgrades. All of them give you unlimited iLO advance access to your server.

          Can you confirm which sku we should buy for the cheapest lifetime ilo license?
          Did you buy from ebay? $30/35?
          Thanks

        • @nige0090: The seller I purchased from no longer has cheap keys. I paid around $30 AU per key (I did a best offer for 2 keys). Keys were emailed so I checked that they installed straight away and have not had any problems with them so far.

    • No worries if you're direct streaming. Otherwise it should handle one 1080p or two 720p transcode streams comfortably.

        120SSD for filesystem, 2 WD Red 4TB in Raid0 for files across my network (which works great for my win enviro) plus 1 WD Red 4TB that together with the 10GB Ram is great to run vms using vware workstation (NAS HDD so that I can access it from other clients). I can leave it running 24/7 without an issue and it is very very quiet compared to any other device that I've owned. Also, LAN1 for local network using one router shared across the network and LAN2 using a second router directly to the modem for some of the vms.

  • What brand is the hard drive? Is it an official HP drive for this system or just one thrown in with the deal? any onsite/free short term parking available to collect the order?

    • the hard drive comes installed inside the sealed HP box from the factory, it is a seagate 1TB desktop drive. (ST1000DM003)

      • And how about parking to collect from your store?

        • +2

          there is Parking on Aurora lane and on Bourke St outside our shop, obviously it depends on who else is there at the time. Generally though, Docklands is quiet on a saturday as its a business hub and everyone is off for the weekend :)

  • Really good thanks OP

  • Is there any benefit with this compared to a stand alone pc?

    • +1

      To use as what?

  • Good price on the SSD

  • I bought one last time and it is a good box. Just to save some time for purchasers, I have not been able to get the system to boot off anything other than port 1 of the std 6 sata connectors. Not a deal breaker but as ports 1-4 are tied together in the same bundle it can make it a little difficult to route.

    • Mine boots perfectly off either port 5 or 6 - connected by a standalone sata cable direct to the ports on the mobo.

      Now configuring the hard disks - that is a whole other world of pain.

      • Did you do anything to achieve this?

        Do you run in ahci mode or other? Every post I have seen mirrors my issues that populating a disk on a port lower than the boot disk causes failure, in ahci mode at least.

        I have a m1015 so I can run other configs, it would just be nice to have a ssd on port 5 and ports 1-4 running large 3.5" drives in the cage.

        • Didn't change anything in the BIOS, so I don't think I'm running ahci. My HDD weren't recognized until I loaded the SSA image and configured each drive individually as it's own volume. I then set the boot volume, probably in the BIOS.

  • Looking at building a home security box running blue iris with 6-8 cams. Anyone done something similar?

      hi I am running 5 cameras with Blue Iris on a AMD Phenom II X5 945 4Mb RAM 24/7 and have no issues. Am thinking to change to a low powered NUC

    • +2

      Hi, I'm running Blue Iris with 5 HikVision cams. 25fps @ 1080p with direct to disk.
      it sits at 75% however any sort of viewing or RDP will make it jump to high 90s.
      I definitely think a CPU upgrade will benefit but it's done well for the low price.

      • Thanks, I'm thinking therefore that with a cpu upgrade and running 6-8 at 15fps @1080 could work.

        What O/S are you running?

        • Running Win 10 Pro. Had issues with Server 2012 and BI so canned it.

        • @deivu:

          Thanks for the info, I've decided to pass and just build a mATX box, probably with the GB H81m MB. I'd need to replace CPU for 8 cams and I already have 8gb ram laying around and don't have use for the included 1tb drive.

          Thanks for the tip about WS2012 vs Win10Pro.
