HP MediaSmart Home Server Now Available, to Pre-order

If you have been looking forward to the HP MediaSmart server, like me, then it just got one step closer.  Many of the major online outlets have now started taking pre-orders (amazon, Best Buy, buy.com, circuitcity.com, and others).  Shipping of the units is scheduled for late November.

Meaning if you pre-order now you can have an early Christmas present for that Geek in your family or have it setup at your own home just in time to share some holiday picture with friends and family.

Pricing starts at 600 (well 599 but whatever).

HP EX470 MediaSmart Server – 500GB - $599

HP EX475 MediaSmart Server – 1TB - $749

If you aren't familiar with the MediaSmart server you can catch loads of details at one of the upcoming live demo session with some leading tech guys.  Here's the details on those.
