Support Justin and Ilana's Server Repair

Well, the old girl won't boot. The hard drives are all fine, all the data is still there, but the motherboard and/or CPU are kaput.

My plan is to hopefully raise a bit of funds, head to the local Microcenter, and get a MB/CPU combo kit, which will make this fix plug and play.

The cost of running this server is largely picked up by Ilana and myself, with occasional generous donations from you all.

The cost of Usenet indexor accounts, download providers, gigabit Internet, electricity, and other various items, comes to a reasonable amount we are happy to pay. But if anyone has a bit extra to help w the hardware costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

There are several Intel bundles available at Microcenter. The CPU needs to be Intel since AMD won't transcode video without a GPU, so Intel is the cheapest and best option. If I'm able to raise funds enough to get one, I'll pick it up ASAP. If not, I'll return the money to everyone.

I know not everyone can donate, and I completely understand. No one should feel obligated. If you have some spare money, thank you. And if not, thank you just the same!

I've set up the goal at $700 to shoot for the stars, but there are reasonable bundles at $350. Whatever we land on, we can make this happen!

Cheers,

Justin and Ilana
