New marla
by Vasil KolevAs most people know, marla’s hardware is dying (mostly because it’s at least 4 years old). Because of that I’ve found an offer for a new machine to replace it, here’s the specification:
ARIMA Server mainboard ARIMA SW300-S Dual AMD Opteron /dualcore/, SW HT2000+1000 chipset, SATA II 4 ports, 2xPCI-X, 1xPCI, 2xPCIEx8, Dual GigE
AMD CPU Server Opteron Dual Core Model 265 (2MB,Italy,S940,Cooling Fan)
SuperTalent 1GB Supertalent DDR-400, ECC, Register, double rank
3ware 3W-9550SX-8 BULK 8-port SATA II hardware RAID card with RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, JBOD. PCI-X/64-bit/133 MHz, half-length, low-profile.
HITACHI GST HDD Desktop HITACHI GST Deskstar T7K500 320GB 7200rpm 16MB cache Serial ATA II-300 – 5 of those
2U side blowler cooler
Zippy Power supply, 500W, ATX, Active PFC
GenesysRACK-2300LB-LPF
Because of this with “Open project” Foundation I’m starting a fund-raiser for the new machine, because it’ll be a bit hard for me to get all the money by myself, and because I get asked a lot by some people on how can they help :) The cost is 2615 USD without VAT, with it it’s 3138 USD.
Most probably I’ll donate the old machine to some similar project, she can work at least a few more years if she isn’t pushed the same way :)
So whomever has the desire to help, here are the are the accounts of the foundation (this is copied directly from Yovko :) ):
IBAN: BG98 FINV 9150 12BG N0FM QV BIC: FINVBGSF
[there’s no letter O in the number, all such are zeros (0)]
And to be clear what this is, in the field “Reason for payment” write the code of the project, which is 02-02 or just Marla. Examples:
Donation – 02-02
or
Donation – Marla
