Lately I’ve been thinking of a solution to host some of the blogs and projects I have on a dedicated server. My ISP provided me with some static IPs and two connections of 1 GB\/s (up \/ down). Of course, my first love came through my mind: the Z800 workstation, my first love. Because I work a lot in the photo\/video industry<\/a>, I bought another system, custom-made so I cheated on my first love.<\/p>\n

She was upset and retreated to her room, in a corner, and covered herself with clothes that I no longer wore and kept to donate to someone.<\/p>\n

I thought to myself … what if …?<\/p>\n

I left all the projects aside and ran to buy some old clothes from Chanel: 48 GB RAM, two SSDs, a few SAS hard drives, a controller for them and I got the job done. I must admit that I had a moment of nostalgia, a kind of bad opinion about myself mixed with joy. I thought about how long I used this workstation. As I learned to work in Photoshop and Premiere… awesome times.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I should point out that Z800 never had any problems. So I put on the cleaner, wiped the dust, replaced various stuff.<\/p>\n

Then I installed Centos with WHM \/ Cpanel. I removed the graphics card because my old love now has another role in my life and no need to show<\/strong><\/em> the world what she is capable of. Now she runs silently and breathes like a newborn. :)<\/p>\n
