Lenovo ThinkServer TS130 Tower Server System Intel Core i3-3220 3.3GHz 2C/4T 4GB No Hard Drive 1105B2U

Pros: Tested and working fine with Microsoft Server 2003 32-bit, Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Affordable price, good quality. Very quiet server - almost no noise.

Cons: Sometimes doesn't see DVD drive after restart, power OFF and then power ON usually helps in this instance.
Doesn't boot with Linux Free BSD or Mac OS from HDD. If you need to start Mac OS (for example) you have to boot from USB (or CD/DVD) loader only, boot from HDD doesn't work

Other Thoughts: I did upgrade BIOS from Lenovo web site, put the newest FAKT18BUS instead FAKT17BUS - the same result: doesn't boot from HDD with Linux Free BSD or Mac OS, and sometimes doesn't see DVD drive after restart

Pros: Good strong SMB server, Easly to load, and setup raid. The thinkServer software was very easy to use.

Cons: None

Pros: Quick booting.

Cons: Onboard NIC failed after 5 weeks

Other Thoughts: Thank goodness it has an open PCI slot for an addon NIC.

Pros: Very nice looking server, business quality, Installed Server 2012 Data Center...with out a hic up. Runs very fast with support of 32GB ECC ram. Configured mines with 128GB Samsung 830 SSD + 2TB WD Green HDD, 16GB ECC buffered memory. Boots Server 2012 Data Center in 5-8 seconds after Post. Comes with a $50.00 rebate, very nice starter Server.

Cons: None, Very Happy with Lenovo!

Other Thoughts: Other than no actual drivers, or real instructions beside document, CD and a manual of different language. Non HOT SWAP HDD cage is a little tricky at first to use but I figured it out in 1 try. Very light and build is not as sturdy than my HP ML110 G7. Doesn't have DVD RW just DVD ROM.

Pros: Quiet, comes with startup disk.

Cons: Haven't been able to get the OS installed yet -- after a month. The BIOS setup throws an error setting up RAID that is not documented anywhere. Disappointing: I have purchased two 3TB disks for it, and memory expansion to 16GB, but nothing to show for it yet.

Pros: This appeared to be a nice unit for the price on sale. Received the unit DOA. The 5 eggs is for Newegg's RMA process! I wish all returns for defective merchandise was this easy!

Cons: Unit was DOA. Asked some questions through Lenovo's site. Still waiting on reply after weeks.

Other Thoughts: Thanks for the quick and easy return and refund.

Pros: Very quiet and expandable. Windows 2011 OS and is a media server for the whole house. With the 6 USB ports there is 24 Tb of storage with some 4 Tb free. Up graded the Optical Disk to a blue ray and rips all media quickly and perfectly. I would purchase another if I could.

Cons: It was delivered with a faulty stick of ram. But once it was replaced there has been no more page fault problems.

Other Thoughts: This replaces a HP Media Smart Server that saw the end to its service life. I'm thinking of getting it's big brother for some of my other services I run out of my home office. Too bad the TS-130 is no longer available.

Pros: Cheap, easy to setup. Comes with Server 2008 and an extra hard drive!

Cons: None

Pros: Great for small business, no problems so far

Cons: no cons

Pros: Cheep, QUALITY, and very upgrade-able

Cons: none so far, its too awsome!
