If you're going to drop that much cash, why not just get a standard 1U Atom setup. Example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101332

Judging by some of it's past inactions, it is arguable that 1,000+ UN accounts do not comprise anything of value.

The author himself gives the reason: "Right up until last week, this FreeBSD box had an uptime of 1,057 days, or nearly three years. This streak was broken only due to a UPS failure during a brief power outage... And this box has been rock-solid stable the entire 10 years, with only a disk failure or two in the middle."

And the winner of this whole experiment ends up being ATI, who sold a bunch of GPUs to doe-eyed bitcoin miners.

Without SCO to suck dry, the world's IP lawyers might just get bored and fire the first shots in the Technology Patent Armageddon.

I challenge whether you can even trust bandwidth tests. The OOKLA-powered bandwidth test on Broadband.gov shows 80Mbit down on my 10Mbit connection. I never see similar numbers from any other source. So, perhaps my ISP (Time Warner) is pulling one over?
