Well after spending the last two weeks in Tahiti drinking most of the fund raiser money away I thought it was about time to come back and spend the 85cents I had left on a new server. 
The purchase has been made and this is what we've got coming to us:
AMD Barton 3000+
2.5GB DDR RAM
2x 36GB 10,000rpm SCSI Hard Drives
100Mbps upload link (for those really really busy days)
1,000GB bandwidth!
Total initial cost: $749.00
This is a HUGE improvement over what we are currently running on now. I just finished placing the order now and server setup takes about 3-4 days for them to build, test, and install core software on it plus another 2-3 days to move the site over and get everyone off this server and on the new one - so hopefully by this time next week everyone will see the huge difference.
Everyone that donated money to the fund raiser - Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can not thank you enough, without your help there would be no way this would be possible this soon. I would also like to thank everyone that signed up as a supporting member, you funds next month will go toward renewing the forum software here as it's been expired since last September. After which we'll be upgrading to the newest version which should help speed just slightly but also fix some security holes.
Once the move is completed work on re-doing the site will continue, such as revamping and reorganizing the image gallery. As well as getting some new contests and give aways started for supporting members.
Again thanks to everyone that has been involved with helping RCNT move from our current to our new server which we'll be on very very soon.
