Can't seem to edit my above post, odd.

Anyway - it turns out I'm wrong, the £60 cash back for the Hicroserver can be claimed up to the 28th of February. Claim form below.

End of Feb isn't it? You have to buy before end of this month to qualify though.

Oops - should have refreshed before posting

New keyboard and mouse. My Logitech K750 failed and with the recent Logitech offer on [REDACTED], it made sense to throw the mouse in as well.

Was a tiny bit worried the keyboard was old stock seeing as it has the old Logitech logo on it, but the actual keyboard has the new one.[/QUOTE]

Enjoy the MX Master, I'm considering a second one :o

Was that for the 4GB version? Did it include the optical drive? Where did you buy it from?

It was the base G1610T 4GB no optical drive (That space houses an SSD for windows now).

I got it from TechData through the company I work for, so I managed to get it VAT free....

I've got two...

I got one to replace my broken one in my laptop bag. Was so pleased with it, I convinced my work to buy me one for my work desk. It's nice to have consistency

I like it so far but the back/forward buttons are in the wrong place. the MX Performance seemed to have them better-positioned. Still, I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Got me some server \o/

Interesting... I've looked online. Is that the "HPE ProLiant Gen8 G1610T 819185-421 4GB RAM MicroServer"?

What do you plan to use it for?

Been considering getting something like this. Not sure what I'd use it for though

Yup, that's the one.

Plex Media Server
File Server
Pi-Hole
Private VPN server
Storage back-ups
Bragging rights
Anything else I can come up with

Do watch your teeth with the acid and the sugars.

That's cool, I'm close to clicking "Buy".

I've wanted to set up Plex for a while and have a Pi3 but yet to use it. My main thoughts for use is:

General storage + backup of about 1TB personal photographs and documents
The Plex stuff and media hosting

Also possibly using for virtual machines. I'm trying to get into pen testing and malware analysis and so the ability to use different machines and "attack" them is really useful.

What OS are you and others using? I'd love to use Windows Server as it's an area I know little about but the cost of it is quite a bit

Why did you get 2 hubs?

Hyburnate · 22 Jan 2017 at 13:26

To sell the other one? It makes more financial sense most of the time to buy 2x starter kits and sell the Hub than 2 extra bulbs on it's own

I guess, although i am too lazy to do these things....will likely end up with a hub sitting in the bottom of the drawer for years if i do this.

Schizo · 22 Jan 2017 at 13:31

It's the same price to get 2 hubs as it is for another 3 bulbs,i can always sell the hub but will keep it for a spare.
