#2 Kerching!

Ok folks, you know that this site gives great entertainment value! - think the 'Crossfire Gazette', 'Nuggets from the Urdu press' and all our other favourites (as well as allowing some well-needed therapy to take place in a friendly environment). Do the right thing, huh?

#3 It was an antique -- about time for it to give up the ghost. I'm going to buy a bare bones from Tiger and move the drives.

Since I'm not real smart with Linux, I use it to bumble my way into getting MySQL and Postgres set up while I'm rewriting old .asp code to .php. By the time the code's rewritten, I hope to be smart enough to implement the 'Burg, Thugburg, and the other sites that live on the same server in Linux (or BSD, if I get even smarter...)

#5 Tiger?

I thought their reputation left something to be desired...

#6 Never had any trouble with them buying bare bones.

#7 Ok, ok, I'll hit a couple of bucks, but how do you expect me to keep up with my expensive internet fetish porn habit AND my diet pills? Damn! Smut doesn't grow on tree, you know, and I've really got to get rid of that gut!

#8 Ditto about Tiger, although sometimes they're at the bleeding edge and inadvertently sell crap. Not their fault, just a bit over-eager.

I've always preferred rolling my own from the MOBO up: I got a good deal from Tiger on a dual processor server, but I never felt comfortable using it.

#12 Newegg.com

Never once had a problem with them. Great service, good prices.

#13 I kicked in a few bucks. If it weren't for Rantburg I'd have to work -- can't have that! -- so I have a vested interest in keeping things up and running.

#14 Sorry to be so antiquated, but do you have a snail mail address?

#15 The check is in the mail. Actually, I'll contribute on Friday, which is payday. Ispent the last one on beer.

#19 yeah, could you email me your snail mail address? If I can make you a "payee" on my online banking, I'd donate more often.

#22 Also, ditto on Newegg. Just put together a screamer with all parts from them.

#23 I put a drop in the bucket. I just spend $2300 on an MRI for Cami, so am kind of broke right now.
You'll get a Christmas present, though.
