[wplug] Redesigning my home network

[Max Putas]

I don't like Woot's service very much, but these referbished HP
systems are a really good deal. I have two similar systems at home and
they've been working great for over a year. They would be fine as a
basic server and support virtualization once you enable it in the
BIOS.
