Spotted via Missing Remote, Velocity Micro will be shipping a Windows Home Server with the rest of the Windows Home Server launch.  Engadget has got a nice image of the planned box, and specs it out as “Intel Conroe-like processor with DDR2 RAM, SATA II (with NCQ), gigabit Ethernet, [and] eSATA.   It will launch with "extremely competitive price,” and my guess is it will be a hit.  Velocity Micro currently has the best CableCARD PCs hands down, and they have proven themselves in new markets.  Six months ago I had never heard of Velocity (as I’m not a gamer, which was their main market), and today if I had to purchase a pre-built PC or a CableCARD PC, Velocity Micro would be on the very top of the list.

More info on Velocity Micro upcoming Home Server includes it being designed for vertical or horizontal placement, enterprise-class design in regards to thermals, and will of course be configured with several terabytes of storage.

I can’t wait to see all the various Windows Home Servers to launch, and I hope that the price points are right.  The one killer of numerous Microsoft products has been price.  Windows Home Server is a great idea and it works well, now lets see the finished products.
