Thanks for the info. Wah, price went up already for the basic unit? Except for the upgraded processor, what do they give now for basic?

Yes, that should work. That looks like the same type of bracket that I pulled out from my old PC and put it at the top of my N36L.

The package includes 2GB ECC, 250GB Seagate 7200 HDD, A Sata DVDROM.. that's it..

The SATA DVDRom has a Sata power cable and a Sata Data cable, I wonder if this fits the 250GB Seagate 7200 that comes with the box as I am going to put that 250GB into the DVD bay?

Hmmm... Close to RM 400 extra for 250GB vs 160GB hardisk and 2GB vs 1GB memory. Oh, forgot about the faster processor as well. I guess the price is fine. Which HP shop did you get it from?

If the 250GB Seagate is anything like the 160GB that came with the N36L, then it should be fine. I put my 160GB Seagate in my N36L on the top where the DVDROM once occupied.

none of the HP shops in Klang Valley sell this, except the only one computer shop at 1U that has N36L in stock...it was a back-2-back order from my co.'s HP distributor- ECS Star, shipment from HP S'pore.

I'm hit with 'windows could not determine if this computer contains a valid system volume" issue after chosen a partition to install into..

USB from Mobo is the first boot drive - this is where I
And I'm trying to install R2 into the ODD drive..

google from the net, it seems that Win R2 assume the first boot drive is where new boot drive would be and apparently it recognize that it is an USB hence doesn't allow the installation to proceed..

I am thinking to install the DVD drive, and put the 250GB back to the cage - then move it back to the ODD replacing the DVD drive.. A hardway if there is no other way..

pls share your experience?

numbertwo, mind sharing who you are buying it from please?

Hi FLu_Shots, try contact ECS Star.. I'm not sure if they deal with end user though..i got it via our Co.'s account manager.

Hi numbertwo. Thank... looks like I will have to look around still.

where are u located actually... and if you are serious I don't mind talking to them again to see if they are willing to take order again. As i mentioned, the last order was pretty much a back-2-back order as they don't keep stock on this model .. shipment was from HP S'pore.. I order the HP Proserve gigabit 8port switch(lifetime warranty) from them too.
