Brian, I do not "dance around" - you told me the new mainboard wasn't working, so you sent it back. Ok. But my question was, when will the replacement arrive?
The replacement arrived, and Jason tested it, and it had the same ram errors. The problem is mysterious, but anyhow we are to the point where we are likely going to send the machine back and have them fix it and return it. I haven't spoken to Jason this morning, so I don't know the exact status of that situation.
As far as I can see, we had a working and well performing solution at the mid of december. Please bear with my for not reading wikitech, I've got to much to do doing the editing part. But from my point of view, all that needs to be done is to buy exact replacements for the failed hardware we had in december. And I don't think that should need that much time, given the funds we (still) have.
I'd like to invite you to join wikitech-l, because we're well aware of the things you're talking about and doing what we can. It doesn't make sense for us to buy a lot of new hardware at the existing facility when we are going to move. So, I'm loaning everything I've got available to Wikipedia just as fast as I can make it available.
