[HECnet] Sort of off-topic, co-locating area 8

[sampsa at mac.com]

Actually, I think I'll go for something like this: 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-Proliant-DL380-G5-2x-Quad-Core-Xeon-2-66Ghz-32GB-RAM-SAS-SATA-RAID-x64-Server-/140830204595?pt=UK_Computing_Servers&hash=item20ca2262b3

Could probably run a few FreeAXP / PersonalAlpha instances on that too.

Guys,

I've decided to move out of the UK but will keep all the machines in area 8 running by renting a 1/3rd rack from a colo provider.

At the moment I have an iMac running a bunch of VM's and SIMH instances including GORVAX that I was thinking about replacing with a 2U server, and found this on eBay:

For some reason i'm imagining you coloing an iMac G4   ;)

Would that make a decent VMWare / SIMH host?

Seems okay, but: http://www.weirdstuff.com/cgi-bin/item/386355-2 Cluster 'em and grab RAM for them. ;)
