If you need a cheap as chips server for lab testing but still want to use an official HP server that is on the ESX/ESXi HCL then look no further than the ML350 G5.
It can be picked up for £571.76 from imldirect.com.
This is a low spec dual core Xeon but it does have the HP Smart Array E200i and will support 6 SAS/SATA drives, only comes with 1GB RAM but RAM is cheap.
We'll be using in our lab with the HP USB embedded ESXi for testing etc.
HP product code is 470064-100.

Hi,
Have you used imldirect for hp servers ?
their prices are so cheap compared to HP and other resellers, makes me nervous
Cheers
Yes, we've bought a lot of stuff from them, they are our primary supplier! I was initially skeptical as their prices were very low but very impressed 2 years later!
