I WAS a a fan of Compaq... used to bye Proliants... since HP put the hands on it... well no comments... and you here luky to get a 330. They don't make them anymore... Now i use ASUS servers.... they are just like the proliants... it seems to me..... that they are a copy... not exactly the same... but look-a- like. They work very well, they are cheep and... with linux support.. here in Portugal the ASSUS costs half than a Proliant with the same specs...
