Great Server. Exactly want I wanted

HP ProLiant ML110 G6 Tower Intel X3440 2.53GHz 2GB Memory w/ DVD ROM & 250GB HDD installed (578929-005) Intel Xeon X3440 (4 core, 2.53 GHz) 2GB DDR3 250GB Non-hot-plug LFF 578929-005

Pros: Bought this server to aid in getting familiar with VMWare ESX. Using it at home as a test bucket. Installed ESXi 4.1 with no problems at all. I upgraded it to 10GB. I will eventually take it to 16GB. I do not need the RAID option, so I do not consider that a con. If I was going to put it in a real work enviroment it would be an issue. Still the RAID is doable using a card. Very please with it. I looked at the Dell TPowerEdge 110 (whic was actually a little cheaper) but decided to with this unit as I needed ASAP. Another plus for me was that the ProLiant is smaller than the Dell T110.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: This is a good basic server. Excellent to use at home playing with ESXi. I understand this model with the Xeon 3440 CPU is no longer shipping. I am glad I was able to pick one up before they were all gone.

Somewhat Disappointed

Pros: Excellent case. Same as my two other Lian-Li very high quality. Good case.

Cons: The picture on the website is not the same as the actual product. The front bezel cover is not smooth as displayed on the New Egg web site. The unit I received has a different front bezel. The reason I purchased this case is that I liked the smooth front surface. The one shipped has a plastic plate bordering the drive bays. Also the lower front grill covering the front fans is a plastic insert. The case is still high quality, I just wanted a smooth front (and was expecting to get what was displayed on the web site). New Egg should make sure the pictures actually match what is in the box.
