Here in India, you won't get the same specs for anything less than $500 Specs seems to very reasonable for a $300 PC. Here in India, you won’t get the same specs for anything less than $500

They don't need to have video out capabilities or ports for anything, so that eliminates some of the cost right there. So if you're looking for a dedicated Home Server it might be best to see what the price tags look like when they get released later this year.

I hope it has room inside for several hard drives, if not USB will work. This will be a great computer to load up with Windows Home Server when it is available.

The amount of times my friends have got new computers (especially laptops) and the first thing I do is spend hours uninstalling stuff and removing startup items, services, settings et al. Then as soon as something goes wrong and the PC doesn't have the developers highly inefficient and useless error reporting tool on it they refuse support. A silly state of affairs that will hopefully be stopped if the PCs come with XP in its vanilla state. Or Vista. Or even Ubuntu if they're really pushing to boat out.
