An auction at work netted me a Dell PowerEdge 6600 server which I promptly loaded up for the upcoming LAN party. I learned the Xeon processors aren't 64 bit, which made the 8GB of memory less exciting, but still addressable. It replaces my PowerEdge 2400 which was cutting edge around 2000 (the new one is cutting edge around 2006) being twice as heavy and almost twice as large. It's also 4200 better. What do I plan on doing with this beast when I'm not serving files for LAN parties? Absolutely nothing, it sucks too much power and nothing I do needs this much hardware. I just like having it close to me, in case I need to start a virtual server farm or local weather modeling. Below is my upgrade path to awesomeness.

 | Don't worry, I'm sure E1 will sneak in to your house at night to turn it on and further upset your carbon footprint. MorlockPrime |
 | Your green has finially overcome your nerd. Time to reduce the furance temps to offset this beast, besides it will also heat your house as well. Stavos |
