=== Bid 6 - Ninlilizi ===
=== Bid 6.0 - Ninlilizi - Pro Roma/Traveller campaigning ===
  1 x3950M2 Quad with 128G RAM
*Bid changed once I stopped drooling and got a more acurate colocating budget worked out
4 HDD's
  2* DL380 G5 2xquad core 3.0 GHz 4gb If possible... Could I get this with a side order of extra ram?....
 
Yes I'd <3 one of those machines with more ram then I could fit onto a 747 full of sheep... But realistically, the power requirements of the machine would be a financial drain looking at datacentre energy related price points.
 
I'm looking for something that I can use to consolidate a chunk of existing stuff. As well as providing a incubator for current projects and collaborative environment.

And again a good piece of iron with plenty of resources will make the development and testing of solutions designed for scalling to epic proportions and developing a unique solution to turn this scary task into a piece of elegance... will make life so much easier... and hopefully supply something that can keep the long term stuff floating without having to worry about buying more kit for a very long time.

Now, I realise that colocating such a beast is not entirely cheap excursion. But, although immediate budgets are non existent. The number of pro Traveller and pro Roma pies I'm tech supporting and friendly organisations. A good piece of iron that can be carved up into virtualised pieces to consolodate their stuff. Jointly funded by all of them... Which has been confirmed people are willing to do, if I can make the hardware happen. Would then become more manageable. And save me no end of administrative tail chasing by overall reducing the amount of seperate stuff scattered all over the place for the pile of humanitarian projects I am supporting.

And any spare resources, I'd hope to be able to offer to other similar projects that may help my people. As may come along

=== Bid 6.1 - Ninlilizi - Personal projects (and cheaper to run endpoint for my home internet connection) ===
1* DL360 2xdual core 3.0 GHz 4gb
Could I get more information about the fault? ie, would I be looking to womble a new controller or just the drives?
This one... I would like for personal projects.... As it is twice as powerful in every spec to my current dedibox.. And have a rack of quotes from local facilities where I could host it at 2/3rds the cost of what I'm paying now. So will increase my headroom for awesome hacking.
