Chojin I used to have a huuuuge server computer here. Thing was slightly larger than a mini-fridge. It had four 1-meg ram modules that were each about 12" x 4" (slightly larger than the biggest graphics cards on the market today).

I would use it as a chair. Wish i'd kept it.

Fathom Zero I'm building a massive arcade table, but I'm also thinking of building a tiny one, like in a nightstand. Those kinda parts would be good for it.

Mockery Precisely. I've been on this same server for ages, so it's definitely time to upgrade.

The upgrade is free. My monthly hosting costs are the only thing going up, and not by much at all. But compared to what we're currently on, this is a big upgrade for the site.

oh god my estimating skills are awesome, i should be a contestant on the price is right

i guess you'd need a case and PSU too, but since you don't need it to drive a gfx card you could either cannibalize something from a flea market or get a $20 bare-bones case w/ power supply.

oh shit son, we're on the bleeding edge of 1995 :O

in all srsness though you could build a computer like that for $600, especially since it doesn't have a gfx card

No, that would be the current server we're on, as we all saw over Labor Day Weekend.

Nice thing about this upgrade is that since we're moving to new hardware, we're gonna get everything working on the new server before updating the DNS to point the site there. So there shouldn't be any real downtime on the site here. There may be a few forum posts lost when the migration takes place, but that's about it.

Tadao Can you take a picture of it? You know, with her parts exposed?
