We've finally received our first 1U server case and gave it a quick hardware test! Some of the hardware in the picture below is obviously not what's going to end up in the case (as you can see, I don't think the CPU fan will fit!), but the case hardware all works as expected. It's worth noting that we will probably be buying a Core 2 Duo processor now instead of an Athlon 64 X2 because of the price/performance ratio and nice, large cache sizes.

Things are also running slightly behind schedule, so we won't have the server hosting in London Docklands until early February. Most of the software has been set up, but the installation needs to be further tested and the remaining bits of hardware need to be installed. We'll keep everyone informed and definitely let you know when our server is properly up and running!
