Re: [TCML] New server poll



Yes, the price for the "fully loaded" server is <$1000. It's a small server, non-rack mount. That's the one I was considering if there are no others of its ilk made by other manufacturers.

I'm also looking at the cloud based solution as many others have suggested.

Clearly we should be donating so you can get a new server and whatever else is needed.
Server is perhaps $600 delivered with cables. Balance to $1000 for running costs.
So target is $1000
I will start with $100. (just tell us how to donate and keep a running total)

Subject: [TCML] New server poll

Hi folks,

I'm seriously considering getting a new server for TCML.  The HP DL-385
that everyone so generously helped with many years ago is still a great
machine and would serve as a backup, but it's both noisy and power hungry.
My electricity bills have gone up $50/month and the noise infuses the
house.

To reduce noise and cost, I've been thinking of an HP microserver, like
this one:

It seems to be one of the few server class machines that is energy
efficient and quiet(er?).

Any thoughts or suggestions from people?

Thanks in advance.
