What a steal....

I love those servers... Completely toolless. No problems with interrupts.

Assuming no glitches, we will attempt to create the Orgasmatron II for this machine with the default 80GB drive and 2GB of RAM. No guarantees!!

Today's the last day. Better hurry!

Ward, I'm looking forward to the Orgasmatron II for this server. Please keep us updated either way on the status of this build.

Special seems to still be working this morning.

Orgasmatron II for Dell SC440 will be on Nerd Vittles early tomorrow. The machines provide about a 50% performance improvement over the WalMart Specials.

^^^ and 5000% reliability improvement.

The Everex gPC2 uses industry-standard components. If there is a problem, it's not the fault of Everex. Our three machines have worked 24/7 (reliably) for the better part of a year.
