Well, this sucks.

At 120AM last night the server's motherboard had some sort of catastrophic failure. Big Brother (bb.tcwonline.org) is dead. This server housed, besides about 15 hosts, 8 CVS repositories, and AMX Mod X, all of my personal files and my compile farm for packaging.

I took the machine from the lab around 2PM and no data is lost (thankfully) but the actual machine itself is completely dead (CPU+mboard, Gigabyte 7VXRP, AMD XP 2400+).
In the meantime to get AMXx forums back up I have sacrified my personal computer by throwing the BB drives into it. I can't have this as a permanent solution because now I have no computer.

So, I'll get to the point: I need to rebuild the server, but I'm broke. If you would like to help you can click here to donate to AMXx, and I'll use the funds to buy new equipment. All I need is a cheap AMD board or something for now, but if I get enough, I'll get an Opteron board so we can go full speed ahead with 64bit versions. I'll talk with Sniperbeamer about setting up some sort of incentive for donors (i.e. special forum privileges or recoginition or something).

If you have any suggestions as to what hardware to get, please post them here. Also, post suggestions for the name of the next server ;]

Thanks, and sorry for the downtime.

*Edit: No, I don't want hosting. I need to have the security of having physical and total unobstructed root access to a server so I have complete control over it. Don't offer me web hosting please.
