The fine people over at
Priorweb will place our 2U case into their co-location in the Netherlands. Installation and support is top notch and we strongly recommend their service to you! :)
Specifications :An Intel S845WDI-E powered motherboard with 1gb of RAM and a P4 2.4 should be able to serve our mad webpages fast enough! A RAID 1 setup of 40gb covers all our web space needs (for now ;) ).
Chieftec 2U case: heavy but looking slick!

PC2100 ECC DDR and IDE HD are pretty cheap at the moment!

Black Floppy and CDrom of course, as well as rounded cables (actually they were only chosen for their length, as the default IDE cables are too short :) )
