I might be able to do it. I think I might have gone one day before with out my pc. I have a new dual sport motorcycle to ride (appox. 700 ,miles on it and they are all mine) and the weather is supposed to be good. So I will be out revving my Suzuki DRZ 400S around the Sierrra Nevada mountains and leaving my Antec NSK1300 turned off.

When the organisers of said experiment/whatnot pay for a dedicated server for me, then maybe. Until then, my workstation is going to continue to double as a server.

PS while you're buying me a server, throw in a few interesting books to occupy me with.

K thnx :rolleyes:.
