A couple months ago I purchased the initial parts to build a dual-ITX rackmount system.  I'm (finally) about to purchase the last pieces I need to make the system operational.

My plan is to shift the web server over to a new system, an Atom D525-based system with an enterprise-class Western Digital RE4 drive.  In the same case will the the current server board, reconfigured as a backup server with a pair of WD Green 2TB drives.  Once up and running, I plan to co-locate this box at a local datacenter.

The result is that, over the next couple months, there will be intermittent outages while certain steps happen.  At worst, none should last more than a day.  Once complete, however, operation should be much smoother than before.

In case I get to a point where a down period looks to last a significant amount of time, I'm going to look into cloud services options that could run a server image for a few days.

Me too.  I'll pay more to go back to InVision, too.  With all the bells and whistles.

The rating and reputation systems should be fun. :P
