Network Diagram. Not quite up to date as Jacky is now a vmware host rather than a Hyper-V host.

The Dell SC1435 is a nice server but too small for my requirements and the ML 350 runs too warm for my liking so in January I’m looking to purchase a HP DL585 G2 which will hold 4 x Quad Core Opteron (8000 Series), will take up to 128Gb RAM but 32Gb will be fine and 8×2.5″ SATA. I already have 8 of the processors sitting here waiting
