My cheap 1u setup (UK), completely silent and only £80-£100

I love what you have done! Please could attach pictures of product showing us inside and outside? Looks amazing!
-
It's not totally clear, but does the barebones box include the processor?
-
will update once i get it through the post :)
-
…or I could update, as I got one through the post.
IT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE MOTHERBOARD!
(hence it's going back, as an HP Microserver +NIC is cheaper)
-
Ooops!
That explains why the website is a bit light on detail. ::)Steve

It did look a bit suspicious when the motherboard alone retails for just under £200.

yup even know the company advised me it comes with a motherboard, it didnt. Thanks for that lambda-tek.
Anyway I have ordered http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-D2500CC-D2500CCE-Mini-ITX-Dual-Core-ATOM-CPU-2x-Intel-LAN-Car-PC-Carputer-/200725215717?pt=US_Motherboard_CPU_Combos&hash=item2ebc27b9e5 at a cost of £88.64.
Good price for a good spec Atom motherboard. Since lambda will not take it back because i have opened the parcel tape, which apparently now means its opened. I will just use this case with above motherboard.

Ouch! Sounds like a company that will never be seeing my money. ;)

What ever happened to distance selling regulations, and goods being sold not as described???
Looks like I'll be avoiding them in future too. -
Nice Build, I have the same chassis, but use an older board (got it from work free - We make loadbalancers out of them) with an old Atom 330 CPU nice at 8w TDP just need to change the PSU for a low power one. adding a dlink 556 to it shortly too for wifi.
I also use a IDE 4Gig DOM for the drive http://buymemory.com/transcend-4gb-dom-vertical-40pin-V-TS4GPTM510-40V-TS4GDOM40V-S.html (again from work)

Looks like I'll be avoiding them in future too.Yeah with distance selling regulations they should not only take it and give you your money back - your free to do this even if you just decide you don't want it within 14 days.
But if its not as described they should also refund the shipping to you and also the return shipping!
