dMw are pleased to announce the purchase of our new £2,500 server, BlackAdder5 (BA5).  

The server should arrive in the rack tomorrow, following which we'll start the process of remote installation of our software and the migration of data and server files.   BA5 is specced for the following:

Intel Xeon E3-1240v3 Quad Core (3.40GHz 8MB)
32GB RAM
2 x 500GB HDDs
4 year Next Business Day warranty & support package
Lights Out remote administration

Once BA5 has been fully commissioned, then BA4 will be removed from the rack and retired into a backup role.

dMw would like to thank everyone for their most generous donations, without which the server purchase would have been impossible.

dMw funds have been severely depleted by this purchase: we have about £200 left in the kitty!   So if you are enjoying your stay here and are not already a Supporting Member, please consider becoming a Supporting Member or making a donation towards the maintenance of this community by clicking HERE.

I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I\'ve got most of it left.

BA5 has arrived, but without the necessary rails to mount it into the rack! :blush:  

Rails should have arrived on site today, so fingers crossed we'll be starting the config RealSoonNowTM

Apparently I actually exist! Or maybe it was the drink?
