Hacking The HP EX470/475 MediaSmart Servers

[etittel]

No new boxes since 2010, not many changes to the latest and most current model actually translates into a surprisingly high level of continuing relevance and accuracy to the reporting here. I'm sorry HP decided to discontinue these products, but once MS decided to obsolete the Home Server version of Windows, that pretty much forced their hands. Thanks for asking, though!

Thanks Ed,
Actually, I have an EX470 that just sits in a closet and was wondering if there is any new advice on getting it updated to accept 2011 or some other server software. What is the best processor now or is the something I should do with it?

Hi, the links to the software needed for the BIOS upgrade don't seem to be working. Is there any updated information to hack the BIOS for the 470/475?
