[M] Dedicated webserver

Others/Miscelleneous by jmke @ 2003-04-12

We are moving! To a dedicated webserver that is! Due to the increased amount of visits each day :D We are forced to get a brandnew machine to host the MADness. Prijswatch will also be stored on the same server. Here we show you the internals of our webserver, rounded cables here we come :)

Dedicated


Due to the increased amount of visitors we receive each day, our current co-hosting server is being overloaded. The next logical step is shown here: getting our own web server installed!

The fine people over at Priorweb will place our 2U case into their co-location in the Netherlands. Installation and support is top notch and we strongly recommend their service to you! :)

Specifications :

An Intel S845WDI-E powered motherboard with 1gb of RAM and a P4 2.4 should be able to serve our mad webpages fast enough! A RAID 1 setup of 40gb covers all our web space needs (for now ;) ).

Chieftec 2U case: heavy but looking slick!

Good cooling inside:

PC2100 ECC DDR and IDE HD are pretty cheap at the moment!

This is how it looks with all the hardware installed and hooked up:

Black Floppy and CDrom of course, as well as rounded cables (actually they were only chosen for their length, as the default IDE cables are too short :) )
