Some HCoop members are willing to donate pieces of hardware to the coop to help with our new infrastructure. These hardware pieces are outlined below.

== Dell PowerEdge 2850 ==

This is a 2U server that I bought used (actually traded for a Dell PowerEdge 2800 that I had previously). I purchased parts for it which give it the following specifications:

* 4 GB RAM
* 4 x 10K Seagate Cheetah SCSI drives, 73GB
* 2 x 10K Seagate Cheetah SCSI drives, 36GB
* 2 x 2.8 GHz processors
* RAID kit, with battery, etc.
* 256 MB RAID cache
* 2 power supplies

Currently I have this machine configured with a RAID 1 set on 2 x 36 GB disks for the system partition, and a 4 disk RAID 10 set for user files.

The machine is less than 1 year old, and is still under warranty for most of the parts (some parts were purchased used, so would not be covered by the warranty from Dell). I believe that we can purchase a support contract from Dell for this machine but I will have to call them to make sure and find out more details.

I have put [http://www.hcoop.net/~leitgebj/hcoop_servers/ some pictures online]. Sorry, they are large files!
