I still have not gotten that big server setup yet. I have had too much stuff going on at work and we are having trouble finding the rack rails for it. I may just gravity mount it and power it if I get a chance today.

That's why this is a warm up challenge... gives us that chance to start getting stuff ready for the larger challenge in a couple of weeks

Keep your rigs going- less than 12 hrs to the finish line!!!

Even one 2P server with those would be a huge amount of compute. I'm all for donations.
