AGD Needs a Server

[Guard Dog]

Hey folks,

AGD is in need of a server-class machine. I do not know how many out there even have this to be honest, but thought I would throw it out there for affiliates and affiliate programs alike.

We just don't have the cash to spend on a server-quality machine, but if there is anyone out there who plans to upgrade their server and would like to sell one - it would be appreciated.

The needs are:

Dual Xeon or similar (2 processors or at least the capability of such)
RAID Controller with enough drives for at least mirroring
4GB RAM or higher (Hopefully 8GB or higher, but that can always be upgraded)

Any server I get will be completely wiped and Server 2008 will be installed, so OS is no big worry.


We will take donations too... but I don't really expect that

Thank you!!!

What size of investment are we talking about here, Andy?

Hard to say, but when I was looking over Dell's website and configuring the server to the size requirements, it was hitting about $3,000 That's without software.

that was a T710 server with 2 processors, 8GB RAM, and RAID 1. Not much other changes outside of a monitor to the server package.

Ouch.


Andy isn't rich... hehehe.

I looked elsewhere besides Dell and the servers were still running up there once they were configured to have the same options the Dell server did.

WCD will match the first $250. In other words, if you give $10 we'll match that until we reach our pledge of $250. -- So there is the first $500 if a server doesn't show up.

Anyone is welcome to participate in my deal - large or small

I will match your $250 so thats $500 out the way.

You guys are so awesome!! I can send $100 now More later in the next week.

 

[Guard Dog]

Wow.. That is really appreciated guys. I certainly hope we can raise enough for the server. This would help tremendously.

I did create a donate button from Paypal, so if anyone wants to donate either anonymously or publicly - we would definitely be very appreciative.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Paypal Donate Button is on the Right Hand side of the forum. I could not get it to work in the post


Again - we completely appreciate everyone's support!! Affiliates are definitely some of the most generous folks around...

The donation button doesn't work:

I noticed that Apparently I can't post it in a thread, so I stuck it on the sidebar instead. That is the only way I could do it and get it to work for some reason

 

[dominique]

Works now!

 

[Guard Dog]

Works now!

Thank you for the very first donation, Dom!!! We are that much closer to a new server! I may be gone most of this weekend, so if anyone donates and I do not thank them immediately - don't fret... I'll probably be all blubbery and thankful when I return

 

[bonustreak]

Dom your amazing but you already know that your loved ;D

 

[dominique]

Ok, who'll match it?

[Guard Dog]

Thank you, everyone, for the donations thus far I thought I would hop on real quick while my son is having dinner to thank everyone!

We are getting closer with 3 matches of Dom's initial contribution to 'the server cause'.
