Hooray, UPS arrived. Heavy bugger... 35KG
The fun part of "real" servers is they have dual PSUs, so you can unplug one PSU and plug the UPS in, then unplug the other PSU and plug it in to the UPS and the server never loses power.
The downside of "real" servers is they eat power like I eat cake :(
What's your run costs estimate on this new beast you are making?

I know I'd consider taking you up.
Who wants to pay for all of those streaming services when there could be an alternative? I'd even pay a subscription fee..
..say, monthly..
PM sent!
Offer is open to anyone on aussie.zone - just give me an email to send the invite to and away you go!
PS - best if the email isnt like... a work one.... just some disposable Gmail or Hotmail whatever. Something to receive details and initiate password resets if you forget it.
