Five years have passed since the first GIGN server has been bought. Time passes and unfortunately every piece of hardware gets old. This has also affected our server and as a result a storage hard drive broke down. The server had to be removed from the rack and was scheduled for repairs. The webpage was also down for a hole day due to these issues.

I had previously given some thought about the future expansion of the game servers and unfortunately we are running short of resources. Having regard to the circumstances, I decided that this is a good time to swap the server with a new one.The hardware has been already ordered and I'm waiting for the delivery. The system features:

1. System: Intel SERVER SYSTEM GROSSE POINT/SR1630GP: € 438.77
2. Processor: Intel Xeon X3460 CPUXQC 2800/2.5GT/8M S1156: € 286.59
3. RAM: 2 x 4GB 1066MHZ DDR3 ECC REG CL7 QR W/SEN: € 271.88
4. Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 SAS 6-Gb/s 300-GB Hard Drive ST3300657SS: € 168.11
5. Intel® RAID Controller SASWT4I: € 135.08

Total: € 1300.43

I hope, that the selling of the old server will cover some costs. However I'm hoping for a support from the GIGN community as well. I will try to fulfil any requests from donors if I have any.
