Windows Home Server available for DIYers

InternetNews | at | by Mike

Consumers may not be able to go out and buy Windows Home Server pre-installed on computers quite yet, but for do-it-yourselfers and small PC builders, the dam has already broken.

The software-only package for small system builders can be ordered from a few online retailers, though some currently have it listed as backordered.

In the past couple of weeks, the system builder edition has started showing up for sale at sites like Newegg.com and Buy.com at prices that range from $189.99 down to $170.99. Of course, purchasers of the system builder edition will have to buy or build their own server hardware and install the system software themselves.
