New server hardware?

Recommended Posts

Just read that some upgrades were happening, just wanted to offer my services as a tech if you need a server built.

 

If I just missed the boat, or you're not interested, it's cool, but if you'd like, I could post a short hardware resume' :D

 

Haven't donated YET (gotta buy my 7mgte first), but I'd like to support the site in whatever way possible.

Thanks for the offer but this time I decided to order a brand name server instead of building my own.

Here are the final specs as ordered for any computer geeks that might be interested. :)

Note the drive array highlighted in blue is not included, I am reusing this hardware from the old server as it is still very new hardware.

Wow, takes all that to run a forum like this eh? Who would've thunk it.

No it doesn't, this is way overkill. I just do not want to do it again for at least another 4 years.

It will also allow me to consolidate the 3 main HybridZ servers into one :D
