	OK, Seti friends....... It's me, the ol' kittyman at it again. The new server specs have been announced. And I would like to propose another little fund drive. There is an option for extending the standard 3 year warranty to 6 years with next day on site service. It costs $210.00 extra, plus another $427.00 for a spares kit. $637.00........I think it's worth it. I will not put a time limit on it, but if a few of you folks will come up with $537.00, your friend the kittyman will finish it off with another $100.00 donation. What say ye? Meow meow. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty." As it is kitten, so shall it be done.

	I am not ignoring.. but on Jeff's new server thread there is a total of 13,000.. and scraped together 10,000 to work with. So I am waiting to see if we need to push it back up to get it delivered. ____________ Janice

Well.....this is an add-on. If somebody wishes to donate and earmark it here for the server itself rather than the warranty/spares upgrade I think we can keep that separate. I think somebody had also posted a suggestion in Jeff's thread about possibly upgrading the drives from 1TB to 2TB. $437.00 to go for the warranty/spares package. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you.

I think somebody had also posted a suggestion in Jeff's thread about possibly upgrading the drives from 1TB to 2TB. $437.00 to go for the warranty/spares package. That was me.. Just asking because it is a potential money and space saver. 1T drives going for about $100. 2T's going for about $140.. more space for less money if they can load it with 2T's. It would still not change the ball park of the total. So my question there is.. do they have enough.. or do we need to keep tossing in donations for it? It sure has gone up from the original approx 6K price tag. But I would much prefer they over build than under build. ____________ Janice

Let's attack the warranty add-on first, and then perhaps I can start another mini-drive for the hard drives. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you.

	I am in standby mode until I hear back. It is after all their decision(I am uncertain if they have it already ordered or not) And if they need another 3K.. Then we need to see about chipping in to get them another 3K. ____________ Janice
