Newegg have revealed that they’re expecting the System Builder SKU of Windows Home Server to be released in the USA at the beginning of September, and it will be priced somewhere in the region of $179-$189, broadly in line with prices in other territories.

$180-190?
Too rich for my blood. $150 was as high as I was willing to go so I guess I’ll be going without. Shame, I think it such a fine product with so much potential.

Darn. I was hoping it’d be cheaper, too.
$180 is too close to a Vista Ultimate license and more than a Vista Home Premium license. Makes me think of a more capable server than what Home Server is about to be worth that sort of pricing.
MCE wasn’t cheap either, but, at least it could function as a full copy of Windows XP. Can’t say the same about Home Server.

Here in Sweden it looks like it gonna end up over $200, still gonna buy it.
I’ll look for it on mail order from the UK or Germany.

At the OEM price of $180.00/190.00 USD, I think that it is a GOOD buy. I have spent more than that on floppies, cd’s, dvd’s, tapes and usb hard drives for doing backups. The WHS has saved my bacon from getting fried black 6 times while doing beta testing.
