I got a hp media smart server from a closed circuit city, but is missing the back plate (where the hard drives connect to the mother board) and all the harddrive trays, including the main harddrive with the OS. Any ideas if HP will sell me this or where can i get some to buy, any help you guys can give me would be appriciated.


Thanks

Yeah, unfortunately HP doesn't sell those parts, and if it's really a demo unit then there's not a ton you could do with it anyways. Keep your eyes out for refurb or big sales, you may get a sweet deal yet as places are closing them out in preparation for the EX487.

Theres a guy right now trying to sell one of these on eBay for $450 buy it now.

I tried to tell him that it might be useful as a trotline weight but not much more.

My hats off to the guy if someone buys it. [-X

There is an Ebay guy selling shuttle 200 watt power supplies guaranteed to work in an HP Mediasmart. I don't know how these people get away with false advertising. When someone actually puts it in an HP Mediasmart Server, they will get a real surprise since it won't work.
