One server just will not cut it.

| I have three servers actually 4 now Ive opened the other shed) sitting here doing not a lot. Not sure what the Acer Altos 1100 spec is, but of the three Compaq 4500 proliant thingies, one is a rack mounted version, but it weighs a ton. Fully loaded with five Seagate drives in RAID configuration, I was hoping one day to get a static IP address and start hosting for friends and colleagues, but like all things in the past five years, its all taken a bit of a back seat as a result of the bill paying work.

A standard broadband connection will not suffice.

My System: Dreambox 7000, Skystar2 | It's not called a cage these days, it's called a rack. Haven't you heard the expression 'putting the mamster on the rack' before? Rack-mounted mamsters have been all the rage since the last time I talked crap...
