Robby,<br><br>I realize you may have already considered this, but have you checked into it lately? I have used <a href="https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/">https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/</a> in the past and still have a placeholder there (I gave up trying to teach people how to effectively use computing resourses...). You only pay for the bandwidth and storage used and it seems to be dirt cheap. This way you dont have to worry about hardware failures.<br>
<br>I know its both fun and effective to run your own server. I have Slackware 13.37 hosting Minecraft and Urban Terror, on my 12Mbps Comcast connection via a P4 2.4GHz 2GB box just for grins and giggles. Its always good to set it up and optimize it for "practice," not to mention having full controll. <br>
<br>Anyway, just an idea. I'll try to toss a few $$ your way in awhile. We just bought a house and money is a bit tight (there were a few unexpected repairs to the plumbing...).<br><br>Ed<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>You! What PLANET is this!<br>
