Well, a brand new Gen 7 MicroServer, with case, CPU, PSU and basic equipment (2GB RAM, 1 250GB HDD) will set you back about $280-290: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aag/main/ref=olp_merch_name_3?ie=UTF8&asin=B00AHQUX86&isAmazonFulfilled=0&seller=A2JOOGMTVUOES But you get what you pay for. That Asrock board has a lot more horsepower and if that's what you need, go for it. Ultimately it really comes down to choosing the right tool for the job. The MicroServer works for me. -- Saso _______________________________________________ OmniOS-discuss mailing list OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss
