 JK> Sounds nice :)

I paid $114 for the little server off of eBay.  So far so good.  I was able
to successfully move my current MBSE installation over to the new server. 
Sometime this weekend, I'll do a final backup of the current BBS, shut down
that computer, and restore that backup on the server and fire that system
up.  The CPU heatsink fan has bearing rattle pretty badly but I called the
place I bought it from and they're sending me a CPU heatsink/fan combo for
free.  The server has a 100% 1-year warranty.  Very friendly people.  So
after that's replaced, should have a very long life.

The server has a quad-core Xeon X3430 processor, 8GB RAM, 2 x 250GB SATA
hard drives, and it did come with Windows 7 Pro on it but I of course
switched that over to Slackware 64 Linux. ;)
