I would presume that 'a new server' means a dedicated, real , live phyical server !

I dunno what SCA drives are - is that the same as Serial ATA ?

But Web Server drives should be SCSI - ATA drives are no good for multi user environments

Server NICs should be multi-homed / teamed.

ISP Service provider should provide load balancing at layer 2 & 3.

Web server should be backed up daily to local tape drive

MySQL database should be shut down (Sau unavailable) during backup windows. ( or hot backup enabled)

Full change control should be implemented.

etc, etc.

Woa, did you just quote me this out of a textbook? :D That's Project Management material sir!

SCA are the 80 pin honda hotswap connectors used on SCSI drives.

There have been a few writeups on ATA/SATA raid configs used in large live environments, given the cost I don't really see the need for SCSI drives anymore... unless you get them at an _extremely_ good price (like free ;)).

Just as a side note, I think that list might be a little old. I know I've sent about 150-200 all up now...

But your right.. More people should donate instead of taking this site for granted.

Prank does a great job, spends a fair wack of time doing it, and get's paid nothing !!

wow - thanks guys!! I really appreciate it!!

Regarding the server, as donations come in quite sporadically, I have opted for a HP P4 2.0Ghz (IDE) 80GB drive and have just upgraded to 1 gig of RAM.. If I get enough donations and more, I will put it on a Dual Xeon server next year with SCSI drives. It is entirely SAU's server with nothing else going on it (apart from 5mb blocks of webspace for donaters) and the physical server is in the US. It should make everything much better and we can upgrade again later if we need to.

Thanks again guys.

Christian

Don't wish to sound rude, though u sure the box has been configured properly? With hardware like that (bar the ide drive), it should absolutely scream for just this website.

Im happy to offer any help to get things running better, got a fair bit of experience with it all, though im sure many others are in IT here as well.

On a side note Ill donate in a month or 2 when I have abit more cash :) These forums have provided an endles amount of very handy knowledge.

Hey Brody - the sites not on there yet. It will be transfered over the weekend (hopefully, i have just order more ram and am waiting for them to get back to me).

If I have any probs, i'll let you know. Cheers.

Hey Christian, would we notice if there was any problem with the forums? Coz I've had some problems in the last few days :confused:

    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
    • Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
