My next server will be one of these boards:

www.intel.com/.../server-board-s1200kp.html

and this case:

usa.chenbro.com/.../products_detail.php

That's a real server CPU (a Xeon), and it handles up to 16GB of ECC DDR3-1600 too.

The QuickSpecs say 8 GB max: h18004.www1.hp.com/.../13716_div.PDF

I bought one of these machines a few weeks ago. Distributor had a nice deal price wise on these machines (€ 200).

I stuck 8GB ram in it, it's running WHS2011. I've installed virtual box on it to run a few vm's. Though it is suffering with my exchange 2013 test machine :). Bottle neck is the cpu though, not the memory.

But I'm ok with a slow exchange vm, after all this is a test machine. Not production.

I've always been a fan of these boxes. They make for a nice no nonsense server for small offices. If only they had these machines with redundant power supplies and a raid 5 controller :)

I've seen some others homeservershow.com/.../index.php who got it to work.

The QuickSpecs also say  only 2TB drives max but I'm running 5 3TB drives in my MicroServer.
