The seller is awesome, they even upgraded the hard drives at no cost to me!
It looks like the seller reset the iLO configuration a couple months ago, probably when they were preparing it for sale
There was some confusion with my reviews but the seller was very good helping me to correct it to the 5 stars I intended
I had a small issue with one of the fans - probably something as a result getting bounced around in shipping - and the seller jumped right in to correct the problem for me
First I have to say the seller was extremely responsive and helpful

Overall, great, price, powerful, ready to get you started with virtualization
Besides not being able to use the server, the price was good
While a 'new' system, or a newer model may offer a bit more performance (processor speed/cores, max memory, max drive/size,) for my needs (and most other SMBs and SMB InfoSec consultants running test labs) there's really no reason to spend 1xxx to 3xxx more for a 'new' base system and then double it to bring it to spec, when you can get a solid and respectable 'mid-range' spec'd system for such a great price.

Seller should have disclosed that the system did not include ALL HP drives and, as well, should have disclosed the issues with the other hardware mentioned
