Engadget's recession antidote: win an HP MediaSmart Server LX195!

This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn't want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back -- so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. We'll be handing out a new gadget every day to lucky readers until we run out of stuff or companies stop sending things. Today we've got an HP MediaSmart Server LX195 on offer, perfect for storing and streaming your growing multimedia collection. Read the rules below (no skimming -- we're omniscient and can tell when you've skimmed) and get commenting! Hooray for free stuff!

Big thanks to HP for providing the gear!

The rules:

• Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but if you want to share your proposal for "fixing" the world economy, that'd be sweet too.
  
• You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
• If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
  
• Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.
  
• Winner will be chosen randomly. The winner will receive one (1) HP MediaSmart Server LX195. Approximate retail value is $399.99.
  
• If you are chosen, you will be notified by email. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.
• Entries can be submitted until Monday, July 20th, at 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
• Full rules can be found here.

Something to replace my old server with an AMD K6 333 Mhz, 160 Mb DRAM, 80 Gb (was 2 Gb orig) that runs Apache, Wikimedia, Webmin, DAAP service, Upnp Media (for 360), MySQL, PHP, CUPS, calendar (can't remember the protocol), DHCP, DNS, File sharing (samba), FTP, SSH, and DynDNS all running on Ubuntu Server 9.04.

Damn listing all of that stuff really makes my server seem a lot better that it looks on the outside.
