HP N40L ProLiant MicroServer for $112
Insight is offering the HP N40L ProLiant MicroServer for $111.99 and there are over 200 in stock too.
This is one of the best deals we have seen for the MicroServer and it comes with the supplied 250GB hard drive and 2GB of RAM, so grab one whilst stock lasts.
More information from Insight.
UPDATE: If you ordered one of these it seems there stock for the $111.99 batch sold out in 41 minutes, so unless your order was placed within approx. the 1st hour it went on sale Friday morning then your order will be canceled.

To bad they don’t ship to the Netherlands.
They don’t ship anywhere. I ordered this yesterday (it showed over 200 in stock) and they cancelled my order this morning.
I wanted to share my experience with this article.
When I read on MSWHS that I could get a Microserver for $112 I jumped on it within minutes of reading it. I was very excited as I was looking forward to replacing my EX487.
I placed an order for the Microserver on Sunday 4-1. Insight’s website took my order and authorized my credit card. I checked the order several times during the day on Monday. I noticed my order did not have any further details on Monday except to say it was complete. I called Insight this evening to check my order. A male customer service agent asked if he could help me. I explained I was checking on my order. First thing he asked was if this was a Microserver order. I replied Yes. He said “It has been cancelled.” No explanation given. I asked why it was cancelled and he said they did not have enough to cover the orders. I told him that when I placed the order there were 291 showing available. I stated there are 29 still showing available even as I write this. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told by him that my order was cancelled and if I wanted to complain, I could complain to him where it would go no further and that was “all he had to say about it”.
He was VERY rude and unprofessional. I would NEVER buy anything from Insight again and urge anyone thinking of doing so to beware.
I have yet to get a an email or call or anything letting me know this order was cancelled. Meanwhile $135.00 still shows as being authorized from my checking account.
Waaaaay late to the party here guys.. if you didn’t order in the first few hours you got screwed…. I am an HP emply and I will make sure no one orders from this place… they are a scam!!!!!
They will be on sale again.. prob not at the $110 though. This was an “insane” deal.
Same situation here. No information, only when I called in to check status was I told that they would not be honoring their commitments nor providing backorder.
i was, however, told that if I wanted an HP N40L, I could buy one for $360! WTF!! FU Insight!
Same situation for me as well. Just got off the phone talking to someone at Insight. They admitted that they made a pricing mistake. They have them in stock, but would not honor the $112 price. They offered to sell one to me at $312 instead. What a joke! This whole thing is a scam. I am going to look into filing a complaint with the BBB. I suggest everyone to do the same.
make sure they remove all your contact info as they will sell this to make $$$$$$$
How do you make sure that they did or not?
By the way, I just filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau online regarding this incident. It is surprisingly easy to do. I also saw that Insight doesn’t have a good rating to begin with. This explains it.
I am now going to look into filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission Consumer Protection.
