Hello community,
Today I've ordered a second hand dedi, I've bought it just for the case, power supply, cd drive and CPU cooler. The rest get's replaced by some nice hardware. I'm planning to put 4GB of DDR3 inside it, a decent motherboard, 2 harddisks in raid1, so if one harddisk fails, the data is still on the second one. And I'm going to find a nice CPU for it, it should be a powerful CPU that doesn't generate much heat and doesn't consume too much energy, and isn't extremely expensive. Recommendations are always welcome.
The dedi will be hosted in Amsterdam, collocated. This means that I will order space in a datacenter where I can put my dedi, so I can use their powerful internet connection, security and cooling system.
Collocating my own hardware instead of hiring a dedi in the UK, makes me less dependent from failing staff, since I can just go by train or car (when I got license) to the datacenter to fix that thing, it's only 20 kilometers away, which will only happen rarely since I will put A quality stuff on it.
Here is a picture I made of the case with the old hardware that get's replaced:

I'll go on holiday sunday for 1 week after that I will keep you updated with the progress, for the computer enthusiastic.
Without donations I wasn't able to do this, so thank you donators!
