@katsuya orders are probably processed in the same manner as cotd. those who order last will receive it first
@DessyTek
How long will this price be offered for?There is a chance the price will go up once the new stock arrives. It's best to get your order and payment in early
I wish I could buy one now to play with on the weekend :( ….
I plan to use this is a HTPC / media sharing device (adding in a spare low profile card lying around).
What else could I do with a mini server like this?
Anything you want really. Paper weight, foot rest, file server, web server, window smashing device, place to store all your cash…

I've seen people using it as a BBQ grill.
$100 goes to dealsealer for posting, thanks Asanka!
It looks like the first 50 or so orders are being dispatched!! We will have the order tracking details updated for those orders in the next 24 hours.
Sweet, I hope I got in the first 50 :D
Wish I had of bought those 2tb drives from Dick Smith for $99 now, I just didn't know how many I wanted so was trying to decide, should have just ordered a couple at that price, was free delivery anyway :/
Anyway, if I'm happy with the N40L I might be ordering another 2 or 3 ; D
Awesome deal and great doing business with DessyTek :)
Damn, just checked my order. I don't think I'm in the first 50….Have to wait
How can you tell from your order if you are in the first 50?
Ordered! My first NAS =D
Now to wait for the Crucial 128GB SSD price to drop and pick up 8GB DDR3 and some HDDsAnyone bought RAM from kingstonmemory.net.au before? I am looking to get the 8GB Kit for the NAS.
http://www.kingstonmemory.net.au/Kingston-ValueRam-Server-DD…It's a few dollars more, but we have the Kingston certified compatible 4GB RAM currently available. This can be ordered along with a MicroServer to save on shipping - http://www.dessytek.com.au/store.php?desc=KINGSTON-KTH-PL313…
Got mine delivered :)
I ordered and paid a week ago via BPAY. Recieved no order details at the time. Sent an email to [email protected] at the time requesting some kind of confirmation. Still no replies, have sent a second email back, and have now noticed that reps are responding to requests posted here but not actual emails sent through to directly.
HELLO, ITS BEEN A WEEK AND I HAVEN'T RECIEVED ORDER DETAILS OR INVOICE, MY REQUESTS ARE NOT BEING RESPONDED TO………
CAN SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!!Hi Daniel, sent 3 emails so there might be a communiation issue. Try logging in to our order tracking page with your order reference TEK35310
Yes indeed there is an issue with my email account. Appreciate the reply.
The tracking details has the order as shipped. Will it be couried.. (ie does someone need to be home to sign for it) or will it be dropped at the post office for picking up?
why do i have the same reference number?
Best to send us an email if you have any trouble logging in. Can't really tell who's who from a forum alias
Tracking number works with my email address and access to an invoice with my name and address. So I think this is correctly associated to my account.
I just received mine with invoice attached to it.
Funny that last night I check DessyTek website and it still said back order on my account.mine arrived just then! thanks heaps for that wasn't expecting till the 10th april!
Got mine delivered! Yay! Was expecting 10th April!
One happy buyer, thanks dessytek.MicroServers have arrived ahead of schedule! All orders have now been allocated and delivery should be within the next 1-3 business days for most orders.
There's currently around 350 units available at the same price, but can't guarantee how long these will last.
Cool, so how many have gone out already? seems some people have received theirs today.
It's hard to say exactly but we're working on getting them all shipped as soon as possible.
Can I pick up one tomorrow from your office?
Courier delivery only on these ones, otherwise we would have to do a MegaBuy and jack up the price to cover costs
What's the cheapest RAM upgrade for these things?
My order from a week ago still says back order
This is the official HP RAM, however there may be cheaper compatible RAM out there:

has anyone tried successfully installing ASUS GT520 into this baby?
I did, I have to remove the heat sink to fit it in, hope it will not be too hot :(
Just got my n40l today, so didn't really test it yet.If you didn't buy the video card, would be better to find one low profile card with lower heat sink.
Someone on http://n40l.wikia.com/wiki/Graphics_Cards said MSI GT520 will worksI couldn't get Asus GT520 properly working, the machine reboot just after I start X.
Don't buy this card for your N40L
Received mine today, awesome surprise. Setting it up now with a 6450 and 8gb ram. Thanks Dessytek :-D
Saw on the status update that it's shipped - any ideas when it'll actually arrive? Haven't receive it yet and was wondering if there'd be any form of tracking to know where the good stuff is at? Thanks!
Mine is at shipped too. Anyone seen a good simple setup guides for these ?
Intention is 8Tb, 8Gb ram, nas server in raid 5/equiv with video/photo to serve 3 wdtv, and 5 PCs. 99% read activity.

MicroServer Special! Starting today we're upgrading all new MicroServer orders with a free HP DVDRW for each server purchased!
Applies to orders placed 1st April or later. While stocks last..
Any details on the DVDRW drive?
Is it in a separate box from the MicroServer or is it already installed?Free upgrade includes a HP DVDRW Internal 5.25" (624192-B21)
http://www.dessytek.com.au/store.php?desc=HP-624192-B21&spec…The DVDRW ships in a separate carton but is easily installed
Ordered and paid for this morning, What do you reckon the chance of getting it to Adelaide before Friday are ? TEK37060
Don't i feel like a chump buying the MegaBuy deal from a month or so ago :(
Ooh, hope it's not some april fools thing :P
Glad I've been indecisive about getting one of these, free dvdrw might be the tipping point for me.
What? The people which ordered earlier wont get this? You are dumping people which support you first.
Hi,
Is this a joke? I ordered early, you held my cash for a few weeks and now I miss out on a free DVD upgrade.
Let me know how to cancel my order.
Thanks.
I have to agree with the other comments, kind of sad that we bought into the whole 'get em before they're sold out and the price goes up' spiel, only for a better deal to come out when stock arrives. And while we've already paid in advance. It's like rubbing salt into a wound.
Plus one. Well put. The postscript in http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/67040 is a great example of how to take care of customers and build trust and loyalty in circumstances like this.
The company didn't really think this bonus promotion through.
Bugger, might cancel and do the pick up in city offer. Feel ripped off when you support early, then you get extras later :(
The special is a wholesaler bundle offer, unfortunately they don't let us know in advance about these things.
I was actually expecting the price to go up, or for stock to run out. It's likely an incentive to help sell the last 315 units.
I never got an answer to previous question.
How will item be delievered? Will it be couried..? (ie does someone need to be home to sign for it) or will it be dropped at the post office for picking up later? Reference TEK35310.If its courier can I request a time that someone will defianlty be home.
Delivery is by courier (StarTrack Express / Couriers Please). Anyone can sign for the delivery. If no one is available, the courier will leave a missed delivery note and you can arrange for a suitable redelivery time with the courier.
BTW If anyone hasn't received their MicroServer by Thurs, or even Wed afternoon, please email and we will check the tracking.
Thankyou…
Yes certainly hoping to get this before the weekend…Lots of free time over the Easter break to get this up and running.
if i don't receive mine by thursday, i will be expecting to receive a free dvd drive next week. thanks
Where are they shipping from?
Thanks for clarifying.
The early bird gets the shaft. Not the seller's fault, but still :(
Although in all honesty, was anyone actually going to use the drive? I wouldn't be surprised if ~315 drives went up for sale on eBay after this…
When can I expect something to be delivered to Sydney CBD if you told me you sent it on Friday?
I wrote 2 emails to dessytek with no replies. Still hopeful but it's hovering really close on the disappointing experience line. Dessytek - any comments?
Let me know your order number and I will check for you.
If anyone hasn't received their MicroServer by tomorrow, send us an email and I can check the tracking details
Hi, my order is 34970, but it still says awaiting payment. I have an invoice with $0 owing. As it does not appear to have left yet I doubt I will get it tomorrow. Is this ok or has something gone screwy?
Skyva your order is awaiting payment, sent an email with further details.
Stock for the free HP DVDRW bundle offer has sold out. ETA on new stock would be approximatey 2+ weeks.
We can still accept backorders, however we wouldn't be able to ship until the backordered stock arrives.
Orders placed starting 4th April will be for the MicroServer only. If you do want to wait for the backorder, please order the Bundle item - http://www.dessytek.com.au/store.php?specs=422981
An email will be sent to customers with backorders, if they would like to go ahead with just the MicroServer, or wait for the DVDRW to arrive.
My order was dispatched on 29th and arrived in Perth today. Couldn't be happier. Thanks DessyTek.
Yay, my order has been shipped. Payed this afternoon, just got email that
1x HP MICROSERVER AMD-N40L 2GB 250GB 3.5" SATA NO-CD 1YR + BONUS HP DVDRW (422356) 658553-371 ($221.09)
Total Quantity 1
Total Cost $221.09
Has been shipped. Must have been one of the last of the good bundles, 250GB drive AND DVD drive.
Glad I jumped in today.
Thanks DessyTek.Hi Ashley, sorry the DVDRW's are sold out :[ We'll be sending confirmation emails shortly to check if customers want to wait or just go with the MicroServer by itself.
Supplier says they don't even have them on order yet, so ETA could be 2-3 weeks
Ordered Sunday morning, took delivery today, Sydney with the extra DVD drive. Thanks for posting this deal.
Hey DessyTek rep. I just received your email saying that I have to wait 3 weeks for my unit with dvd-rw. When I bought it today your web site said it was in stock. Now you're offering me immediate shipping if I accept this server >>>without<<< the DVD-RW.
This tactics is called bait advertising in Consumer Affairs books. I'm very, very disappointed with your actions.Yep, looks like I was a bit premature too, Mine changed from shipped to suddenly being a back order. I too got same email, even though I got this one before…

If you have any queries regarding this order please contact us or reply to this email.*Not so impressed now. Was not back order when I made purchase, was over 300 "In Stock"
Like I said, I checked after first email.. was NOT back order then.Hey Ian,
The least you can do for the customers you've mislead is to send the server immediately and put DVD-RW on back order.
They will probably say "Costs too much" or "Can't be done"
It's very hard to gain consumer's trust, but it's very, very easy to loose it. DWI comes to mind with their statement "We don't make loss for any order". DWI popularity went downhill after they refused to honour people's orders.
By not honoring the original orders, Dodgytek is going to alienate public the same way DWI did.
ocujos… my understanding is that they will honor original orders, but you may need to wait until the DVD drives come back in stock until the item is shipped.
You would also be within your rights under Australian Consumer Law to request a refund of the full amount paid.
Keep in mind we're only trying to get you guys the best deal possible, hence automatically upgrading orders with the special where it was possible. Tried to have all orders upgraded but the wholesaler wasn't too happy about that.
Orders that include the DVDRW deal will still be honoured, just means waiting until the DVDRW's arrive. Unfortunately part shipments aren't possible through this wholesaler.
Im getting a little worried about recieving delivery by Easter.
TEK35310
Order processed on the 26th of Mar 2012
Courier Tracking Information: Tracking details currently not available..I cannot find any details on the webpage tracking, about what day the shipment was made.
Girlfriend was home all day today too, would have been perfect delivery, now all I have is limited hour or 2 in the morning she will be home. So I hoping I have a flexible driver that might be able to deliver after hours, Whats the chances of that…Make sure it doesn't say "awaiting payment" anywhere. I thought I paid but for some reason I was sent an invoice but not charged. Anyway, it was sorted out last night. Now mine has changed to shipped.
WooHoo.. Just got the word from home that it arrived just as girlfriend was leaving. Timing ended up working out perfectly.
You trust leaving your girlfriend with the microserver?
Booooooooo no free dvd drive
Does this server support 4tb hdd? What's the max?
Ordered Monday morning, arrived in Adelaide today. Happy customer :D
Got mine today too :)
Ordered mine on 27th
Still waiting for it.
I'd be pissed if the guys ordered later recd theirs with dvd drive.Rep.. My order number is
TEK36450Ordered mine on 26th… now being told to expect to receive it on the 10th - WTF? A kick in the guts if there isnt a DVD drive due to the situation; Another kick in the guts is that I threw caution to the wind and bought some RAM modules from MegaBuy expecting extremely bad service (which, yes i would say that transaction was painful), and it looks like the entire dragged-out Megabuy-shoot-me-in-the-head process is going to get goods to me quicker. WTF? W-T-F indeed…
Looks like this deal has finally expired. The wholesaler just put a $550 price tag on the servers!
They can be a bit unpredictable, improving sales with a free DVDRW one day, then stopping sales with a crazy price the next.
Really appreciate everyones support and hope everyone got in in-time! For anyone that missed out, there are likely a few shops around that still have stock.
And for the people who paid for it but didn't get it even though their order was confirmed…..you should be providing a full refund NOW!
Ordered mine on 27th
Still waiting for it.
I'd be pissed if the guys ordered later recd theirs with dvd drive.Rep.. My order number is
TEK36450Same here. Still haven't receive my microserver yet.
Ordered mine on 22nd March and no DVD drive :(
Order number: TEK33470Wow.. 22nd?!
I better shut up.. Lol
It's a bit unfair thou.. Ppl ordered on Monday recd theirs already
I'm in a similar situation and have just been corresponding with DessyTek. Ian emailed me the tracking number and "Couriers Please" portal link after I asked for it today. The tracking reported a failed attempt to deliver on Monday and that a card was left to advise - which I never received. I called Couriers Please to follow up. They will deliver today. It seems if I hadn't called Couriers Please today it would have been sent back to sender - and incurred extra costs (according to DessyTek) not to mention delays.
I suggested to Ian that DessyTek send customers tracking information as soon as they have it, which will help minimise this sort of situation.
Received mine today.
Received mine as well, good delivery service. Very happy!
Rep is gone once the deal expired?
Looks like the price is back to $221.09 with 154 units remaining if anyone missed out -
http://www.dessytek.com.au/store.php?desc=HP-658553-371&spec…Busy sorting the last of the orders, but will reply to emails shortly.
Thx for your reply. Status I says "order shipped" but you tell me it's still waiting for pick up in the warehouse . Lol
Wow you guys get a lot more. I ordered one from u yesterday. Really hope to get is asap after Easter. Cheers
I just like to say… I received my server!!! But I don't think I'm one of the first 50 tho.. :p
