SSD Time?

[ZERO]

In servers you do not buy the hardware outright (if you only paid once for the cost of the equipment this would actually save THOUSANDS of $$$) instead you are charged monthly for what types of equipment you have installed. For some equipment it is a wash b/c it would take a few years before you cover the cost of what the equipment would have cost. For other things like RAM you generally pay the cost of buying new ram every month. For other things like a CPU for example you basically pay for a new one ever year.

Ah, I didn't realize you were leasing the hardware and rather than owning it and having it racked/hosted somewhere. I'm sure that's more cost effective, especially in the long run given how quickly server hardware becomes obsolete and the maintenance costs that can quickly add up. I'm actually a sys admin so I know at least a teeny bit about these types of things.

That said, would there be a dollar amount or figure you could toss out to make the SSD upgrade possible, assuming you don't have enough subs to cover it?

I need to catch up on the accounting so I can see how the subs are trending right now as upgrades are determined from a moving average. But I think I have found some ways to cut some costs to reduce the total increase of the upgrade a bit.

Oh swiggity swag! Let us know if you need a little extra push.

I would be willing to give more each month but I am happy with just the reserved slot. I'm usually stoned or drunk when I play and admin probably isn't a good idea since I noob rage quite a bit.
