A little over a week ago, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dell.com\/\">Dell<\/a> shipped us a brand spanking new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dell.com\/us\/en\/esg\/topics\/esg_pedge_rackmain_servers_1_pedge_1650.htm\">PowerEdge 1650<\/a>.  Since then Arathorn and myself have been spending all of our free moments working to get the new server ready and in production.  <\/p>\n<p>Today between 2-3PM EST the new server went into production.
