  • vRozenSch00nvRozenSch00n Member

    @serverian It is the good old days, when IPv4 isn't considered as a valuable commodity. Wait a little bit more, and whoever owns most IPv4 blocks, they rule the net. :)

    It's a simple rules of supply and demand. If one have a sufficient capital, one should invest on them.

    I have no idea that qps (their prior brand maybe?) has been in business so long: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=58551

    SCSI and tape drive :P

    I had both with the servers I had back then with ServInt. P111 600Mhz, 512MB RAM, 18GB SCSI HD, SCSI DAT tape, 100GB monthly bandwidth. $599 monthly + $299 setup, and bandwidth overages brought the price closer to $1000 per server many months for something that was less powerful than the $2 VPS's you can get today.

    Hey, @qps, I'm in the market for something very similar to the below specifications. Only issue is bandwidth is a little low and the OS is a little outdated. I do see in the thread you said that you had "excess Cogent bandwidth" that you needed to sell, if you can still throw in the extra 100GB of multi-homed bandwidth even that'd be great. Is there any wiggle room in the pricing? I will admit, it's almost too good of a deal though for the unlimited IP's with cPanel/WHM included.

    Server CP-1
    Pentium 3 1000 MHz
    512 MB SDRAM
    40 GB Hard Drive
    600 GB Data Transfer
    Redhat Linux 7.2
    Cpanel and WebHost Manager
    Unlimited IP addresses with Justification (8 IP’s included initially)

    $149 per month
    Setup fee waived for WHT Users!

    From a bit of googling, I can ascertain I was playing Backyard Baseball back then. Oh, and this one really fun star-trek RTS.

    Cheap BW, yea. Same time when FDC started to come up with 10 (and quickly 100)Mbit shared ports for cheap and Cogent in Germany was popular

  • dhamaniasaddhamaniasad Member

    And in a few years, we'll look back at the $140 72GB RAM servers and be like, whaaatt!! I paid that much for that sh*t?

    @prometeus 20GB EIDE & CDROM 2x was a luxurious items at that time.

    I think the CD rack was also detachable (not a sliding one).

    I still remember my first PC in 1990- A PC XT with 20 MB HDD and a 1.2 " Floppy disk, and running basic, turbo c, pascal, dbase and wordstar.

    I remember trying to fix a floppy disk containing a game called frogger, which had been abandoned by my dad because of fungus, and ending up transferring fungus onto the floppy head. Those were the times!
