Iron Man Uses Dell Servers, Tony Stark Drinks Too Much Bourbon

Here's a batch of 13 new images from the movie about the greatest gadget tinkerer and playboy of all time: Tony Stark, aka Iron Man. And while all of them are great and make our legs shake in anticipation, there's something wrong going on in there. Let's review: More »

For those of you waiting for our awesome HP MediaSmart Server video, some bad news: the pre-production unit we got was a lemon. Not sure whether to blame HP or Microsoft. Oh well, we can blame both, at least for this weekend. Good thing we already reviewed the software and squeezed all the details out of the UI.

HP MediaSmart Server Arrives Looking Hunky... Yet Chunky (Gallery)

After a very long wait, the FedEx man has finally delivered the HP MediaSmart Server. Chen gave you a look at a Windows Home Server last week, so you got a feel for the basic software package. Now we're taking it to the consumer level: HP's is the first fully configured official WHS product out of the gate.

Intel To Sell Its Home Server Reference Design for $500

By now you've seen Intel's sexy server: it's the one chosen as a reference design by Velocity Micro and Fujitsu Siemens for their Windows Home Server products. Well apparently Intel is not content to just be the silent partner in this, because it will now market the device as the Intel Entry Storage System, in both the SS2400-E, an EMC-powered fully functioning NAS, and the hardware-only Windows Home Server-ready SS2400-EHW. Intel says the systems will be available in December, starting at $500, so maybe you can cut out the middleman and score one for yourself. [Intel]

Hype Sheet: IBM and the Rage of the IT Underclass

The Pitch A balding butterball stumbles through a barren, Tatooine-like landscape. He's on the search for water, no doubt, but instead he finds a cluster of fridge-sized servers—the gods are obviously displeased with our afflicted protagonist. "The servers are too hot!" he exclaims, before crumbling in a heap. Moments from death, however, a bespectacled angel appears—the archetypal IT geek, passing along a message of sweet salvation. Turns out the desert scenario was all in Butterball's tortured mind, and he's just passed out at the base of a nifty IBM BladeCenter—a server ostensibly designed to run cooler than its competitors. All in all, a no-nonsense, slightly ham-fisted spot—as well as a salvo in an increasingly bitter server war twixt IBM and HP. And so begineth an era in which enterprise hardware shall be marketed like Fruit Loops—what an exciting time to be alive. More »

NEC Server Plays Back Two HDTV Signals at Once

NEC demonstrated a new HDTV server at CEATEC this week, and this one's "Multi Record Cast" tech is powerful enough to distribute two HDTV programs within the home while recording two others at the same time. Its Remote Screen Technology also enables control from the outside like a Slingbox, letting you program its PVR functions from afar. NEC plans to ship the server next year, and didn't mention price, which is a crucial point because this tech is already topped by Life|Ware's quad-recording media center PC that can record four HDTV channels while playing back four. The big nut to crack? That Life|Ware server costs $15K. Can NEC beat that with this two-channel system? Probably. [TechOn]

Latest by microe: Can't a hdhomerun, a gigabit ethernet network and a couple of mythtv boxes do this? And can't they do it for about a quarter of the price of the life|ware? Admittedly quad recording is pretty awesome, but I pretty much defy more »

Olive Opus No. 5 HDD Jukebox Is Profit Margin Machine

Youth may be squandered by the young, but it's the older folks that foolishly spend on equipment that should cost much less. Take for instance Olive's Opus No. 5 hard-drive audio server, referred to in marketing material as "The world's first digital audio system bringing together the sweet sound of vinyl and the accuracy and convenience of digital audio." To its credit, it is one of the only high-end products that boasts, "No costly custom installer required," but under the hood, the $3,000-$4,000 system is charging for hard drives at a markup of over 1000%.

IBM Sued After $1.4 Million Server Dumped on Floor by Forklift

IBM is being sued after one of its servers was damaged in transit. T.R. Systems, who was shipping the beast to its customer the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and who had to shell out for a replacement, claims that the computer giant did not package the $1.4 million behemoth correctly.

Hands-on With Windows Home Server (Verdict: Great In Unpredicted Ways)

Speaking of Windows Home Server, Michael Gartenberg of Jupiter Research has lived with one for a while and really, really likes it. In fact, he said it was one of those things (like the first time you used TiVo) that you didn't know you needed until you experienced it. Here are some of the things he loves: More »
