are there any issues if I were to install the included 160GB HDD onto the discrete SATA port? I have already installed W7Ultimate and it is running just the way I want it, would the mobo still find the drive as a bootable drive? are there any changes that I would have to make? Apparently...

i just bought a 2GB Non-ECC ram stick. The specs for this RAM is exactly like the stock HP RAM except it is not ECC. It's probably not a good idea to install both? I read around that installing the non-ECC ram into slot '1' and the ECC ram into slot '2' will by default run as non ECC for...

i'm curious, why you didn't use the embedded RAID controller on the MB? I didn't like the fact that it won't allow RAID5 as an option but I'm running the HP RAID now and it works amazingly well, so far..

Well I may be ignorant of what's possible and/or of other solutions that may be similar if not better than what I want, but I really like FreeNAS because it's essentially a unified place where I can manage torrents, rsync, etc in one place. Similar to WHS in that respect but for now I really...

Interesting setup. I had planned to build an HTPC that would do what you're doing...But... Would it be possible to run W7Ultimate AND FreeNAS(via VMWare)? I'm not even sure if it's worth building and maintaining the FreeNAS server if W7Ultimate is on the machine. I am planning to get at...

got it...worked perfectly...thanks man! The N36L is nice and quiet...I'm in the process of starting some more services but seems like everyhing is working as it should! i'm almost always accessing the freeNAS with wireless devices. I don't get anywhere near the speeds you guys get! My...

I just got mine today and am in the process of setting up FreeNAS 0.7.2.5739.. after successfully installing the embedded OS onto a 1 GB usb stick, I boot up the N36L and the FreeNAS bootup freezes at "trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0" any ideas on how I can fix this? I did a quick...

I agree with Tamasrepus. i had also considered building my own server box/htpc from scratch, but realized that not only would it cost much more than a box like the N36L, there would be unforseen hardware conflicts that are a huge turnoff for me. That Li Lian case doesn't look very good start to...

i've been eyeing this HP microserver for a while now...i might just get it! a reviewer on the HP site referred to the following backplane that would allow connecting 4 2.5" drives into the 5.25" bay: http://www.lindy.co.uk/sas-sata-back-plane-system-for-4-x-25-hard-drives/21980.html...
