Ohhhh durrrr LoL. Thanks! =)

The octocore one doesn't seem too bad. $240 roughly with shipping. The RAID would be cool to mess with. Those redundant power supplys are cool... and all the other stuff that comes with servers would be fun! =) This is the kind of "Must Buy" for anyone learning server technology that wants a physical server in their presence. I mean you don't need the physical server, you can do it all locally and with emulators.. but where's the fun in that? =P I want to break shit! LoL

I'm seriously thinking of getting one and hosting it at my company. I have to wait a month or so to catch up on bills before doing this. It would be fun to host some UT and non UT servers. We have fios business, but idk how pings would be

Whoah!!! Kick ass!! That would be cool if they gave you a DMZ for UT. I know how companies are, they are real worried about security :rolleyes2 /sarcasm Or I guess they could let you have your own IP address on their network and just direct traffic in to the server which is even more awesome! Megaboner! LoL

My main concern is the bandwidth here is only 50/50 mbit ish we have many static ips. Since I am the I.T Director I can do as i please ;) Obviously though before putting a server in I would def ask LOL
