Deal of the Day #2 is from a reader tip (Thanks Jake!). Buy.com has a HP MediaSmart Server
Jake describes it this way:
"The HP MediaSmart EX470 is on sale at buy.com for $399 with free shipping. You can also find a 5% off (max $15) coupon online that brings the price down to $385. I bought one to use as my SageTV server. Good way to save on power bills."HP EX470 Hewlett Packard MediaSmart Server 500GB Windows Home Server
Get 5% off (up to $15) with this coupon (add it to your cart after adding the Server above) that reduces the price to $385! Not bad for a low-cost, low-power HTPC server.
