we could swing for 4x500 gig new enterprise drives or maybe even
1tb, depending on price.

I think we basically agreed that IPMI is a requirement so my

We did find a good home! We can use it for other things (
as long as we don't leave

it on all the time). I am going to be starting a sysadmin
class at noisebridge and
<br>
it would make an ideal machine for teaching since it has
VT and a bunch of storage.

It would be great for the students to setup Vagrant,
Openstack and other things on

from scratch on a regular basis.

Ronald,

<br>
I'm all for saving energy, but perfection is the enemy of
good.
<br>
$300/yr for powering a main server isn't excessive.
<br>
<br>
If people really do think 200W is excessive and should be
ewaste, I
<br>
can find a good home for it :)
