Hmm? I'm pretty sure I didn't order a new server from HP. (Credit: chrixx, NotebookReview)

We don't know how real this is, but an Australia-based user, chrixx, on NotebookReview claims that HP delivered a power cord, complete with a wooden pallet. For those not familiar with it, a pallet is a structure used to hold heavy goods so they can be transported by a forklift easily. With pictures to back up his story, chrixx also said the pallet weighed 10kg, compared to the 300g power cord that was sent to him. Click to see a picture of the item he ordered.
