For the same money you can build an itx system and have room for more than 1 hdd which is a limiting factor when it comes to the hp microserver which has only 1 sata port.
Just a thought

Sorry, Daniel, but that's just blatantly untrue. The HP Microserver has FOUR front-loading sata 3.5" caddies, and a DVD drive that if you want more, you can swap it out for a fifth. Oh, there's an internal USB port if you want a flash boot too.

And you would be hard pressed to make a complete system, including ram, hdd. dvd and case, for £125 (Current ebuyer cashback price). Whilst I've been known to build servers instead of buy for reasons of "it's a fun thing to do", it wouldn't be of equal quality or as reliable.
