Free Home Server ...

CrunchGear did a great write-up on Windows Home Server and the HP MediaSmart Server and is giving away the home server to one lucky person that comments on the blog post.  As I write this blog post, there are over 450 comments added to their post, the number isn't what amazes me ... it is the fact that there are a lot of people that definitely need /want a home server to replace their current backup solutions that involve burning CDs, DVDs, and using a cadre of USB hard drives and a lot of manual effort.  Think about all of the time you could spend with your family and friends instead of futzing with manual backups ...

If you don't win, you can always build your own - as the Windows Home Server Power Pack 1 software is just $99 at NewEgg, where it has a 5 "egg" rating with over 23 reviews.  You can also use Windows Live Search CashBack to find good deals on the HP MediaSmart Server.
