Anyone hear anything about how the new build is coming? We have people here that can throw that puppy together and even get all the bang for the buck....LOL

I just sent Eric an email asking for an update.

I will relay any news I get if he does not post it himself.

I am excited about getting the new box up and running too.

I could throw that puppy together and get a real loud bang!!!! And then we could have another fund raiser to replace it! :-)

Don't have a time estimate, but the specs of the new server have been decided.

96GB RAM and 12TB disk space.

WOW, well done Mark & guys who made this possible.

I guess it'll be a while before it's commissioned - it ought to have a couple weeks of soaking to find anything vulnerable before it goes live.

Well another week almost gone
over $9000 in donations since last week
and still NO Word from berkley on the Progress in getting a server that donations PAID FOR

Guess it's par for the course

We're still trying to nail down the exact specs of the new science database server - Jeff has been doing some additional research regarding CPU upgrades - but that'll get purchased really really soon I swear.

Matt just posted a bit more in Technical News. It still does not get a firm date. However since Berkley still has not cashed the check I dropped off(I am informed it has made it through the SETI portion and into UCB proper) I suspect things will move a bit slowly.

They are back at the drawing board on WHAT to order. But it looks like they should not have any more price gaps.

My estimate: order next week, take 1-3 weeks to assemble/ship, then 1 week of testing/OS/configuration before it's a useful system. So, to be safe, 3 to 4 weeks.

I know we're anxious to see happy progress from this burst of generosity, and we certainly will before you know it. Still, if this kind of time line seems slow to you, let me point out that I have files in my home directory from unfinished projects (that I'd like to get wrapped up at some point) with last-modified date stamps from the 1990's.

Thanks Matt,
I think most of us who post here fully understand.
And those who don't have never worked on computers.

LOL. I throw those out after 10 years Matt. If it is really important, somebody will ask.

I'm getting that "a watched pot never boils" vibe here. Be patient.
