Mmhh.. location: Budapest- but yeah, I'll check other bid/ad sites.
Why HP makes this so hard is beyond me.

Subject: Re: [MLUG] Suggestions for a Linux-friendly small form server?
I always check ebay, one of the first links:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-ProLiant-G7-MicroServer-N40L-DualCore-1-5GHz-4SATA-2DDR3-GigaBit-1YR-warranty-/110831192059?pt=COMP_EN_Servers&hash=item19ce0dc7fb
$256 + $130 shipping to canada.
If you want a file server though there have been many other options that
have been discussed on this list in the past. You want a small form
factor with 2 to 4 3.5" bays, and a fast nic. I'd check out the freenas
forums etc. I think there was a dlink unit that I was looking at a while
ago that you could run linux on, it was quite small. Although, I have
to say that proliant looks pretty nice. Small but enough rooom to hold
all the goodies you'd likely want to stick in there.
