New Server Fund
As I had said previously, I did not originally want to take donations, but have elected to do so as the cost of a replacement server for Delorean is so high. Here's how we're doing:
Donation Status in a Nutshell
Total Donations to Date: $255.00
PayPal Fees to Date: $8.91
Net Donations to Date: $246.09
Estimated Server Cost: $2,000.00
New Server Specs
I know people are going to want to see what the new server is going to look like. I originally had detailed specs picked out for a replacement, but I will need to redo them as the hardware is now out-of-date. However, here's a broad overview of what the new server will have:
- Server-grade CPU(s), either Intel Xeon or AMD Opteron
- One or two chips comprising of 6-12 cores, based on cost
- Server-grade motherboard that can handle ECC RAM, SATA 6.0GB/s, and remote management (IPMI)
- 32-48GB ECC (Error Correction Code) Memory, either double or triple-channel
- 2 250GB Solid-State Drives (SSDs) in a mirror (RAID 1) - System Drives (and databases and Minecraft)
- 2-4 7200RPM Hard-Disk Drives (HDDs) in either RAID 1 or RAID 10 format - Data Drives
- 2-4 5900RPM Hard-Disk Drives (HDDs) in RAID 1 or RAID 10 format - Backup Drives (in drive enclosure)
- Server-grade case with hot-swappable drive bays
- APC Smart-UPS Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) - Smart-UPS 1500UV or better
- Expected Cost: $2,000-2,500 USD
