Re: [ic] hardware for Interchange

Hi Scott,

  If I were making this decision, (notice the wording there ;-)
This is a 1U box, not much room for a backup device, and I like
backups.  I would put in a second drive, partition it for install
archives and daily cron backups.  Throw any money left at memory.

  256Mb-PC133 can be had for $50 USD now.  If this is a mission
critical box... a dual redundant PS or spare PS would be good.  Do you
have a UPS backup on site?

  Murphy is lurking everywhere.
