HP ProLiant ML110 G5

I got this product free from my brother after my old one had broken - I was instantly impressed; personally, I feel that this server provides all the necessary server features in an affordable, functional package. The Intel processor provides the necessary computing power, while a mix of PCI and PCI-Express slots deliver the expandability for the future if you wanted to expand you system, whether it just be for your personal needs, or if you are serious and need it for business purposes.

This server has always been very efficient for me and quick. I didnt need to upgrade it, but after speaking to somebody from HP, i was assured that it would be very simple to do so, and should still work to a very similar standard.

I have drawn up a list of this products vital features so you can compare it to other similar products (just incase you dont take my word for it!)
