Basilisk move

[Loc-nar]

I was slightly confused too when I first read the announcement. It's clear now though. When the server host gets the new box (in a couple days), they will tell the emu team, team tells us, server goes down for roughly 48 hours or so, server comes up all nice and shiny, we all smile. Yay!

Seems strange that a large hosting company that provides a lot of dedicated servers would not have the hardware on hand. Moreover, I would think this is a rack mount system.

Anyway, nice to see the move. So we are looking at over 2k a month in just server charges? Looks like it's time to donate a few more green backs.

No, i think the overall monthly goal will be around 2k, we got this box for around 1.6k per month.

Actually, it would see, strange to me if a company with good financial guys was wasting money by having hardware lying around unused instead of bringing it in on lease as required

+1

It's a fact, the team is made up primarily of masochists and would be at a complete loss if there was not a dedicated crew of acid-tongued community members who can do everything better than the team does...but somehow, well, doesn't.

Am not too sure on the technical specs there. is this a considerable hardware upgrade for the servers? or about the same??

[Drej_X_Army]

Nice, I should get better connection to server as well. Dallas has more backbone connections then Denver.

Pretty much the same thing, we moved from AMD to Intel and we will have larger SSD's but less HDD space.

Sweet I'm just a few hours away from Dallas

[bigevil]

I'm in San Diego so no biggy. hehe. I do like the hardware involved and bandwidth capability.

Fudge, us euro guys get shafted again,

next time, please please please consider an east coast server park.

btw, will 5k gb bandwith be enough? im guessing its 5k a month?
