Server Return

[Isphet]

There's a racist "working on the rails" joke in here somewhere, but it's not Racial Slur Tuesday, so I'm not going to bother trying to find it.

How close are we to our goal for rails? How much more is needed?

$140 + 2 (unk) donations. Probably ~ 35-70 off

Update 2, April 14th
Due to the data center being out of stock on equipment needed to rack the server, the server may not be up on Friday. It's about a 50/50 chance the server will even be up on Friday, at which point I doubt it will be in the configuration I need it to be for the network setup which will require additional coordination with the data center. At this point, it is a best case scenario is it will be up by Midnight Friday, but more likely Monday or Tuesday.

I blame France.

awesome the sooner the better, i just found out about this server and cant wait to try it ... its been years

I'll make the wife put in 20. She has the paypal acct.

On another note, why are rails needed to power a server up anyway? I suppose they are picky about the way servers are setup while running. Understandable but flexibility for a temporary situation would have been nice too.

A pretty good/standard policy for this sort of thing is you don't put shit online unless you can do it right. i.e. don't throw a server on a pile of shit and plug it in just to get it online fast, you put it in the rack properly before it gets powered on and turned over to whoever to use.

This prevents shit like them just setting it on top of the server below it in the rack and later being like "oh btw we are turning your server off today to actually put the rails on it cuz now we need the space"... And then there being massive amounts of QQ.

IT people tend to be lazy as shit (at least the ones that don't suck) and thus if they don't do something right initially it tends to sit undone until there is actually a neccessity to do it right lol.

Anyway if everyone here donated what they said we should be p close to enough for the rails.
