We installed some new hardware, this includes 2 new VM servers and a storage array as well as networking equipment.

The List:

  • HP Procurve 2626 – 24 port 10/100 Switch
  • HP Procurve 6108 – 8 port 10/100/1000 Switch
  • HP DL360, Dual 3.0Ghz Xeon, 8GB RAM, 2 72GB 10K SCSI (in RAID1)
  • HP DL360, Dual 3.0Ghz Xeon, 8GB RAM, 2 72GB 10K SCSI (in RAID1)
  • HP MSA20 Storage Array, 3 1TB Drives in RAID 5

And I took pictures and video during the install…

GoonCity

This project was started by a goon (Ryan Allen) with lots of artistic talent at the SA forums, and it immediately snowballed. The idea is similar to previous projects such as the blue ball manipulator and goontower, essentially goons of all shapes and sizes put together their collective talent and made this awesome city.

After getting dugg a few times and in general slammed by tons of sites they had a problem paying their bills so I offered to help them out with their bandwidth. Here’s what it looks like since I’ve started helping, it’s declining but I’d love to see it hit the front pages yet again.
