CyberPower intros Atom-powered Windows Home Server 100

The Windows Home Server parade has slowed to a crawl, but we figure we speak for each and every streaming media lover out there when we invite more companies to give this whole thing a go. CyberPower, a firm that generally sticks to gaming towers, has apparently done just that with its Windows Home Server 100, a plainly styled SFF machine that automatically backs up local PCs and provides networked access to all sorts of files. But for those who look closely, you'll realize that the model name here is just coincidental, as it's "Windows 2003 Server OEM version" running the show. If you're still interested, the rig boasts a 1.6GHz Atom 330 processor, a mini-ITX motherboard, GMA 950 graphics, gigabit Ethernet, a 500GB SATA II hard drive and 2GB of DDR2 memory. Shame on you for getting our hopes up, CyberPower.

I love my Home Server. Best bit of kit I've ever bought.

So is the Windows Server 2003 confirmed? Their website lists Microsoft Windows Home Server OEM as the OS...

Windows Home Server is based on Server 2003. Perhaps that's where the confusion originated.

Also based on the BASE specs, you can currently add a 8x DVD, mouse, and keyboard for free when you customize.. doesn't sound too bad to me.

Big difference between Windows Home Server and Windows Server 2003. They should sell a barebones so someone can load it up w/ OSX.

There is absolutely no difference between whs and server 2k3. In fact, whs is based on server 2k3 sbs, so please actually check your facts before you make erroneous statements like that.

Also, how would osx do anything better than whs? It doesn't even have half the features that whs does out of the box.

This guy is clueless, since he didn't put a refer link or anything

[stridermt2k Posted Feb 17th 2009 8:56PM]

I'm already running this in the form of an MSI Wind barebones.

Awesome little server, BYO OS,HD, RAM, KVM, 140.00 from newegg.

@ go nintendo
you forgot the HTTP:// xD

What the fuck is that piece of shit

500GB for WHS? You want at least a TB and why should it be so big?
A linksys slug is fanless and cheap but only for linux users with time on their hands
Aleutia F5 is a much smaller home server and 1TB-2TB:

ewwwww

[possum5 Posted Feb 18th 2009 10:17AM]

a whole 500 gig hd? W O W
NOT.

Are they giving these away with box tops? Buy the software, get the box free? Why not just get a wd gigabit hd connected to your n router instead?

[cionfsb Posted Feb 18th 2009 3:10PM]

Confirmed, WHS it is.
