I bought a very cheap server yesterday - an HP ProLiant micro server for 160 euro (280 euro with 120 cashback, for some reason).
But I was surprised when I opened the box to find it didn't come with keyboard or mouse, and doesn't have the old keyboard/mouse sockets, but requires USB versions. Is that the norm nowadays? Is it possible to convert the old keyboard/mouse plugs?
Also there is no CD drive. But there are extensive instructions (on a CD!) about how to instal RHEL-5.5.
I'm not complaining, just surprised. I got it as a fall-back for my aging server. The ProLiant is incredibly quiet, at least by comparison.
One last thing - there is only one ethernet socket. This surprised me a little, as I can't see how it can be used as a server, without adding a second ethernet input?
