If you main reason is disk storage space, have you considered a NAS? 9TB usable for $600 at Amazon.

Phil,
That's an incredibly kind offer and I really appreciate. The guy at the company that had the other server called me back a few minutes ago and offered to sell me a Dell PowerEdge R710 2U Server with X5650 2.66GHz 12-Cores / 64gb / 3x 1TB SAS / 2xPSU for $259.00 and I bought it.
I need to say something. I started not to because I talk too much as it is. But....
What Phil offered for FREE really touched me. There's a long list of folks on here that have gone out of their way to help me in one way or another. While this place isn't perfect, I've seen NO OTHER PLACE LIKE IT. Period.
I've done a huge amount of taking since I've been here. Learned so much. The acts of kindness have been overwhelming. Some like to criticize this place and that's their right. But where else can you learn so much about copiers and networking? Not a damn place that I know of.
hey man.. it' sitting around collecting dust..along with an 800gb ide..couple 400gb.. plenty of 80/40gb and plenty smaller.
I too have learned a lot.. and I feel that besides money I have lent info and tips.
yeah I can be a rough ass, but I was raised not to take shit from anybody, and when I know I'm right.. will fight tooth n nail.
got to be that way.. didn't grow up in a 'pansy' environment.
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with GNS3? GNS stands for Graphics Network Simulator and it was developed by Cisco. I won't go into great detail, but I want to use it to simulate real world situations with routers, switches, servers, ect.
The problem is that it uses up a lot of computer resources and most computers (unless it's a very high end computer) aren't capable of running it. Which brings me to my next question: I've been reading about Microsoft AZURE and cloud computing. Basically what you're doing is renting a server on the cloud. It's pretty exciting stuff from what I've read. Again, I won't go into great detail but I was wondering if anyone has ever used it and if there's anything you could share with me?
