After doing some comparisons, I'm going to fall back to plan B on getting a new server. It's not that plan A won't work, it's just that plan B turned out to be easier (and a bit cheaper), with the added benifit of I could bicycle to the colo if I needed to.

So here's what that means now. First of all, I'm not going to have this up and running in 5 days without a miracle, so we'll need at least $100 more in the site budget to temporarily extend the current setup.

Second, I will need to purchase a server. Spec-wise, I'm looking at quad-core, 8-12G of ram, and a reasonably fast (if not large) hard drive. Having an ethernet card that can run at a full Mbps instead of .9 would also be great. I think someone contacted me about this before; feel free to get back in touch.

I'm still expecting to have the server transition complete by the end of the month. Keep up the support, guys!
