Our friends at Viridian PC have been in touch to let us know about a very special edition Windows Home Server box they have just launched.
2012 promises to be a busy year. Between the Olympics in London, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and football’s European Championships there’s a hectic summer ahead.
To celebrate this momentous year Viridian PC Systems Ltd, of Rossendale, Lancashire, England have announced their ‘2012 Limited Edition’ home server. Just 5 of these systems will be available to customers worldwide.
