Ok, here's the deal.

I am willing to host detonate.net on a server at my work, <a href="www.paramounttechnology.com" target="_blank">Paramount Technology.</a>  We have a 768K fractional T1 that we barely use.  This is exactly the same bandwidth of our current setup (768K SDSL).  The server is almost 2x as fast as what we've currently got.

If we agree, I will be root on the server, thereby putting an end to our current standoff.

The server has mod_perl, Apache::ASP, PHP, and MySQL already running; I'll add other stuff if we need it.

The only drawback : because I'm hosting this through my work, y'all have to promise to order stuff from us every once in awhile.  Our prices aren't always as low as other online stores, but they're not ridiculous either.  And you get the satisfaction of knowing that your purchase is helping out your favorite forums.

The other thing you'd have to deal with is small banner ads for Paramount Technology.  Since I'm making and installing the ads, you can be assured that I won't do anything I would hate to see on another site (flyovers, HUGE ads, a lot of flashing shit, etc.)

What do you think?

edit : Our price list sucks at the moment; it's usually valid but sometimes the prices shown are dead wrong.  The store owner has decided to offer y'all discounts + FREE shipping on anything less than 2 pounds (memory, CPUs, etc.).

if you sell a 512 mb 400 mhz dimm at a decent price, and a mobo to go with it, i'll buy from you.

we can get almost anything in a day or two.

CK - since you said you want 400MHz memory, I'm assuming you want a p4 mobo + Rambus RAM.  I can get you an ASUS P4T-E + 512MB memory (as 2x256) for $329.  I used 2-256MB modules because you have to put them in 2 at a time...

The better bet might be to use a Microstar 845 Ultra-ARU, which has ATA133, built-in RAID, and USB 2.0.  Price with 512MB PC2100 SDRAM : $275.

nice try, rhydant :)

400 mhz = pc3200 ddr ram

its $200 on pricewatch though and I can't afford that with a motherboard unless I get some mad discount.

whats your price for a 512 meg pc2700 (333 mhz) chip and motherboard? this is for AMD btw, I'm not getting a new cpu for a while.

Sir? May I recommend I load myself into the reverse-thrust tubes and you use my body as decoy-fodder? This will, of course leave me splattered across deep space and unable to complete today's laundry, for which I apologise in advance.

well, I can't vote again, so my vote is, move the server.

maybe we can get a fresh copy of iB and merge it nicely, so that it allows people to vote, too.. .:)
