hint to the owner of dayzstories.com .... plz do the text block a bit wider. Most computer users are using 16:9/10-screen nowadays. There is no reason at all for making the text block that slim :) @OP: Nice story, well done :D

Andrew: awesome answer. Thanks a bunch. I'll see what my boss allows me to do :)

I will need to stay in line asking about general specs on running a server. We are decommisioning quite a lot of HP DL380/360 G5's at work at the moment and the better part are either a single Xeon (4 cores) 2.833GHz or dual Xeon (4 cores) 2.00GHz. All servers are running atleast 4x 146GB SAS-drives and minimum 8GB RAM. We also have a 1000/1000 fibre with a separate backup 100/100 fibre so bandwidth is not an issue. Of the two server specs above, what would or should work best in a 40-50 slot server configuration?
