I post these anyway even though its never a blip on anyone's radar... no complaints. I've had Darkrealms down for maintenance several times, even one time for my own personal amusement and "nothing" happened.

So Darkrealms is getting another server upgrade Wednesday next week, moving to a new system capable of running Vmware but only using a fraction of the power... fraction of the jet-engine fan noise. Downtime will be likely the whole evening as VM's are copied over and old system removed from the rack.

Up for grabs will be an HP DL360G6, 1U rack server, 32gb Ram, 4x600gb SAS drives, dual Xeon 2.4ghz quadcore, redundant power supplies, dual Ethernet.

The other DL380G6 2U and some Cisco gear is still looking for a new home... stuff that powered Darkrealms and Net 229 for many years... 24/7/365.

Anyone who wants to make the trip to downtown Toronto is welcome to pick this up along with probably 3 or 4 boxes of parts and other stuff looking for a good home. I really prefer my tech goes to a Sysop and not tossed to the curb.

Also a fair bit of Windows licensing I spent a small fortune on.
