Re: Need donations to help pay back $400 for the new server
WOO HOO! Wow, You guys did it! We are now covered, and the brand new server is going to bring Ironworks into a new age.. er.. we'll it'll last many years and with some things I have planned for the site, I think it'll become as busy as it was during the RPG boom!
Lots of cool stuff to come!!!

Re: Donations covered for New Server - Thank you guys! You rock!
Glad you made it, Z. Would've sucked to send it all back.
This was the first time I donated. I don't visit as often as I used to but this place has served me well for a while now and it was about time I gave something back. |

Re: Donations covered for New Server - Thank you guys! You rock!
Yeah, I would have been super depressed returning it--it took a while putting it all together, tweaking it, installing W2K, and stuff.
Thanks you! It really does mean a LOT to me, getting the support when I need it. We REALLY needed a new server, I mean, we were running on a backup board from like 2002 I think, with 512mb ram! Now, we're rocking 4 gigs of fast Gskill ram, a superfast motherboard and CPU. (Graphics card is cheap, as a server doesn't need anymore) I feel like I have so much room to grow now.. a big room to build loads of new things for the Forum! It's a GREAT feeling! Choc sleeps near it for heat I guess--guarding it... hehe..

Z, great choice on RAM! G.Skill is a Tier 1 memory maker. The next build I do will be using either their product or Kingston's Hyper X memory.
If you don't mind me asking, what motherboard and cpu did you go with? |

I went with the second best MB--didn't need a beast SLI board for the server, but most good motherboards have SLI tech now) EVGA E758-A1 3-Way SLI (x16/x16/x8) LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard (The only sucky thing is NO floppy controller on board, so installing XP or W2K3, I had to buy a damn USB floppy drive--for raid drivers... ugh the ONLY time I ever use floppy too) And an overclocker king--and priced well: Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz Running it at 3.2Ghz on AIR and temps are only 2c above normal idle on a stock cpu! I decided on this board because of the triple channel memory for the server. I have 4 gig in now, but as soon as I can afford it, I'll get 2 more gig to make use of 3 channels.. 6 gigs (board has 6 ram ports) can hold a total of 12gig! I got this as the cheap server video card: EVGA GeForce 7200GS 512MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 lol... $32! I remember a voodoo 4 MEGABYTE card being $349! hehe... I was surprised at the 512 ram.. not bad! Memory IS cheap as heck these days... A few years ago, I also used pqi Ram.. very fast!
