As previously mentioned, replacement hardware for Charlie’s Server was pending order. Now, all of the necessary replacement parts have been placed on order and are being shipped to Lina’s residence in South Windsor, Connecticut. It can be expected that Charlie’s Server will return by the last week of September.
The motherboard/CPU combo order from BZBoyz[1] has been charged, confirmed, and shipped. DHL’s expected delivery date for the motherboard and CPU is September 19.
I placed an order with ZipZoomFly[2] today for two 512Mb CAS2.5 Corsair ValueSelect sticks of RAM. The order went smoothly, and should ship out (via free 2-day FedEx) tomorrow. Since the RAM hasn’t actually been shipped yet, there’s no FedEx expected delivery date for me to list here, although I expect it to come in at the latest on the 19th (the same day as the motherboard/CPU).
Assuming all of the hardware works as expected, I should end up with a pretty nice replacement server. Wish me luck!
[1] I found BZBoyz to have the best deal on the motherboard/CPU products I wanted. I searched for motherboard/CPU vendors almost exclusively via PriceWatch. I have no previous experience with BZBoyz, though they have good reviews.
[2] I found ZipZoomFly to have the best deal on the RAM I wanted. I searched for RAM vendors almost exclusively via DealRam. I have no previous experience with ZipZoomFly, though they have outstanding reviews.
