[ucc-announce] Final call for fileserver donations

Sun Oct 3 16:26:51 2004

This is the last call for donations for the new fileserver. Just a
reminder, we're looking at getting something like this:

Dual 242 Opteron CPUs (64 bit, 1.6GHz, 1MB L2 cache)
4 200GB SATA hard drives (to be set up in RAID 1+0)
2 GB DDR RAM
Tyan Tiger Dual Opteron motherboard, with gigE onboard
plus case/psu etc.

but the more we raise in donations, the better machine we can buy, and
remember, no donation is too small. The current list of donors is as
follows:

Nick Bannon: $200
Simon Fryer: $500
Alastair Reynolds: $300
James French: $30
Matt Johnston: $100
Susie Hellings: $100
James Andrewartha: $500
Grahame Bowland: $50
Ian McKellar: $US150

for a total of $1980. Pledges can be emailed to me before this
Tuesday. Payment will be arranged later this week, or you can paypal to
[email protected].
