Hi folks,

For those of you interested, here are the parts on order.  It'll probably be 
a couple months before I get it built and operational.

Donations are at $1470, which is a little more than the order total of 
$1240.58, although I'll still have some nickel and dime stuff to get (cables 
and such).  I'm going to look at a new firewall once the box is complete, I 
upgraded that a few years ago but I'd like to be ahead of things this time, 
it was quite frustrating troubleshooting that issue.

This box should have no trouble with db stuff, /dba will be on one of the 
SSDs, the other is for the system.  /corsa goes on the pair of WD black 
drives.  The green drive is for backups.  I spec'd out some heavier duty 
components based on our experience with the old box.   VV e-mail will fly, 
all the logging and archives will be on the SSDs so there won't be any 
slowdown for processing.  Generally the idea is to make the Internet the 
slow part of anything we do.  As I mentioned before, I have a couple 
projects in mind that will require space, we'll have plenty.  New OS will be 
Fedora 22.
