This will be our new box:

Intel Dual Xeon 2.4 GHz Packages
2 GB RAM - (2) 73GB SCSI Hard Drives
DRAC card or Remote Console (unavailable on BSD systems)
2000 GB Monthly Transfer

Sorry, just have to ask this question. Why are the remote boards unavailible on BSD systems? A remote console is a console is a console(with remote reboot, etc). Our HP/Compaq DL series have these built in. Have you considered those? What brand box are you planning?

BTW, I would like to contribute. I may be able to front the drives also if need be. Let me know.

Oh who cares! If people really wanted to be the one to donate the most that would cause a donation war! haha That would only create more money for the site too!
I dont see a problem.

Ever hear of the trickle-down theory, Sid? Where any excess money flows from your hands directly into mine? :rolling:

... I will be leasing a server from the same company that currently hosts the site. This is a dedicated server that only SVTP will be hosted on. The money will be spent on the setup and transfer fees, and also some of the monthly fees. This new server costs more than double what the current one costs per month.

Leasing for how long?
Just trying to determine ROI and how much to send. The '04 capital IT budget I approved is over $500k and I know 2 things; you can never have too much RAM or HD space.

Oh, and I hate Pay-Pay; where do I send my check?

Where'd you get your screen name if you don't mind my asking? I clicked on your profile earlier in the thread and discovered your name was Travis. Before that, I thought it was Sid, too. :-D

Seriously, when do you expect to begin the move to the new setup?

Almost there guys!!

 

[NJCOBRA10thA]

We are 2/3 there. I am adding 1/3 more to what I gave. If everyone did that we would be at 100%.

Paypal'd another $9.

 

[05 Roush]

Paypal sent. I think we should be a little closer to our goal now. ;-)

I get email notifications...but then again, I am a whole lot cooler than you..

IF I recall correctly I stopped getting in then checked/changed my email address and they worked again. This is going back a while so I am not 100% sure but I think that's what happened.

BTW I just posted a Silver AC Gauge Cover for free if you make a new donation to SVTP.

 

[05 Roush]

Oh, and why stop at $1200? Why not get everything the way it should be so we don't have to worry about it for a while?

Just a thought. :beer:
