Hi All

Just to let you know that now that the new desktop roleout is almost finishedhere at work, we are looking at replacing the servers and guess what..........

LOL !!! :P

Nelix, you know, for a man about to get married, I would NOT like to be announcing that new procurement to the (soon-to-be) Wife

Still, from a guy's point of view - NICE MACHINE !!!!!!! Good luck, mate

 

And what size of wire do you have plugged into you house?

That machine looks like it could do with a serious connection.... have you told the soon-to-be wife that fact yet as well?

Let us know when its set up and your handing out the web space!

 

You've got a lot of guts for a guy who's about to get married, Derek. BTW, as I recall you mentioned in a previous thread that you have limited space in your home. Where's this monster going to fit?

What are the specs on your new server? What plans do you have for it? Most importantly....what are you gonna name it?

 

I think we best wait and see if the Missus Nelix-to-be allows our man to keep it

 

Well I just showed Mrs Nelix the picture of it and she was a bit shocked to say the least, the first words out of her mouth were "what do you want that for".....my response...."because it's free", nothing more has been mentioned, I think she will have something to say when I ask her to give me a hand to get it out of the car LOL.

I aim to keep it under the stairs and am planning on running it as my DC running AD, Mail server, Proxy, fileserver and anything else it can handle.

All I know about the spec so far is that it has a Xeon Processor, will investigate further tomorrow at work and keep you informed.

I am going away for a couple of days again on tuesday so might not be able to update you all untill the backend of the week

P.S. Havent thought of a name for it yet.......Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated

 

Looks like you may be getting away with it, then - you lucky bleeder

How about "Matrimony" ? :roll:

 

Geez...is October the month everyone in the UK goes "on holiday"? First Si, now Nelix!

After having seen the photo, names like: "Big Daddy", Black Beauty", and "Kowabunga" come to mind.

Trip, I'm not going on holiday, it's work related. travelling down to Wales (no sperm or blue tip jokes please)

 

How about "humpback"? Shades of "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home".

 

How about sheep jokes? Living near Aberdeen I have quite a few of them. I heard they are also apropriate for Wales.

 

Just checked out the specs on the Server and here is a link if your interested

I admire your strength, your courage, your indefatiga.....- oh no, wait, that was someone else who said that
