          Any computer company is worth its reputation and ability to deliver technology.
          Otherwise you might as well go with the cheapest. I seem to remember a few companies that promised a lot and undelivered. They are dead now.
          This is not tough: sell the gear, deliver.

          Sell the gear and don't deliver, well that gets around.

          Oh wait, I forgot, they sell that thing that everyone wants, the must have, the thing we can't get from anyone else. Well then we have to stay with them. Lucky, otherwise I would drop them like a hot potato. I hope they remind me what that important thing was as I seem to have forgotten.

          My last company used Dell as a corporate supplier. My current company uses HP. when contracts come up for renegotiation, who do you think I will vote for? Can you afford that?

          Of course it wont greatly impact or inconvenience them…. I know how big they are. But this isn't a very positive exercise for HP, and considering how much money they spend on advertising trying to build goodwill every year, they would LOVE to avoid issues like this. At the end of the day I'll purchase their product if it remains good value. But every day they delay, that value drops but price stays the same. Like I said, I'm happy to wait…. for now.

    • oceang on 01/08/2011 - 11:44

      Mine also hit Production with Date to Follow on the 30th July. At least it is starting to move along!

      • Shippo-007 on 01/08/2011 - 13:41

        Yes, at least 'production' is a start. So I just have to wait for the monkeys to build it now.

  • sagax on 02/08/2011 - 12:05

    Just checked the HP website and mine says it's shipped. Estimated Delivery 9th August from Singapore.

    • sagax on 08/08/2011 - 13:01

      This was delivered today.

  • CereaL on 02/08/2011 - 13:44

    though i guess its promising that some people are getting dates now which is always a good thing

    • netsurfer on 02/08/2011 - 16:24

    I'm blown-away at all the complaints about this AMAZING piece of gear, that's cost them STUFF ALL… but not delivered "NOW!". Some people are just spoilt, and will NEVER be happy. You exploited an internal sale, they sold a ton more than expected, and they're taking a while to deliver… So?! You're lucky you're even in the queue.

    Our company purchased $40,000 of gear before EOFY. Took 1 week to get a solid ETA, and 2 weeks for complete delivery. Considering the LOW actual price for what we got, and the quality of the gear, it was well worth the wait.

    If you want off-the-shelf, pay retail.

        Don't bother. I never reaffirmed my intentions the first time around, yet my order is still active. In fact, it hit "Production" status today, so I'm not sure what to make of this new e-mail.

    • chylld on 02/08/2011 - 17:41

      same here rofl

      they're well worth the $199 and i can do without that money for a while, so i'm happy to wait. but yeah agree they're hoping people will cancel

  • netsurfer on 02/08/2011 - 18:03

    Got the e-mail… so it is official. Mine will not arrive before September. I hope this is the last of the delays.. coz. I got an e-mail saying mid August earlier (which turns out to be false)….

      Quick update - like a lot of people reported below… after getting the e-mail… a lot of people now noticed the status has changed to shipped.

      Now.. I am confused.

      The only people who should be squawking about the delays are the people who actually attended Tech@Work for which this offer was targetted … and they should be squawking at the rest of us (me included) for jumping on their bargain :)

      I say "Thanks HP for not cancelling my order".

      $199 is a great bargain. $250 is still a great bargain too - this is what my other second Microserver order cost and which should be delivered this week :}.

    • some_one_some_where on 02/08/2011 - 23:12

      I think there is no corelation between when the order was placed as the production thing seems to be random as I am in 3132xx and there are people with 3134xx getting item shipped so its a guessing game!

  • UFO on 02/08/2011 - 22:51

    my status is "Production" (changed today). also got the above email stating new delivery date "after mid september".

    come on competitors…. ofer us something better so we can cancel!!!

  • Redmo0n on 02/08/2011 - 23:32

    Good luck to fellow bargainers.

  • Tenebrae on 03/08/2011 - 01:47

    Mine was "Production" yesterday, I got that infuriating "mid-September" email yesterday as well. Today I check (order SCPO3132xx) and status has changed to "shipped". Shipping date 02 August, planned delivery date 09 August. Here's hoping that date is accurate.

    God bless you patient OzBargainers!

    • waladare on 03/08/2011 - 08:14

        if quoted ETA is 10th August (and lets give them benefit of the doubt and ETA quoted is to a remote warehouse in the middle of Australia), a courier on a pushbike will arive at my house before mid september as quoted in email. it does appear that all is not as it seems, but i'll reserve judgement until the courier is at my door ;).

    • stumo on 03/08/2011 - 20:09

      Yep I think we've established that order number only really indicates when you placed the order. HP are pretty much doing whatever they want after that point.

      My pre-ozbargained order SCPO31311x only just went into shipped state today. Many people who ordered 3-4-500 orders later have already got theirs in hand last week.

      • Redmo0n on 04/08/2011 - 01:41

    Add 4GB ram

    And run either Windows Media Center or Media Portal.

          My story is exactly like yours almost word for word, even the order number, except mine all happened 4th/5th and delivery date has been changed to today on the status page.

          Same here mashera.
          Delivery says it's today, but I haven't seen it. I think HP's system is reading track & trace wrong. Star track says my package left Sydney today, HP reckons it's already in Perth. That's one fast truck.

          not if the truck has wings, 2 outboard engines and "737" written on the side of it :)

          Received a sms from Star Track today - they'll be delivering to me tomorrow (I am working from home that day so worked out perfectly).
