An anonymous reader writes "Tom's Hardware News weekly news letter has a very interesting article about Dr. Koch of Computertechnik AG who won the contract to build a RAID backup system for the University of Tübingen. Dr. Koch took several standard entry-level servers, such as the dual-Athlon MP, and add modern components and three large-caliber IDE-RAID controllers per computer, and a total of 576 x 160GB Drives."

    Dear Webmaster,

    My name is Steve Warren, and I am the president of an internet development and
    marketing company. Due to the state of the economy, several of our long term
    contracts have defaulted and I need to rapidly generate some funds to pay my
    developers or lose them. If you have any web design, Flash development, PHP,
    CGI or database development, C, C++, JAVA, ASP work you need done; please give
    us the opportunity to quote you. We can program for any windows or linux
    environment. I will bill you just $25 per hour to offset my employee payroll.

    Steve Warren
    CEO NetWizards
    1601 NW 97th Ave, SJO3016
    Miami, FL 33102

    (Leave a message with a brief description of your needs so I can have the
    correct person return your call)
