Swapping my server

I switched my main web server. My beloved RaQ 4i had been working for the last three years 24/7. Being a second hand server with an old hard disk I feel a little bad and some time ago I decided to exchange for anther RaQ 4i I had as spare.

This new/old server has the same specs as the old one but with two Seagate 120 GB in RAID 1 configuration. I more confident with this setup. Obviously it runs Strongbolt 1 (CentOS 4 + BlueQuartz) but with no addon packages installed as I don't need anything outside Strongbolt.

I restored all the files of the old server (the /downloads/ folder) and it was 14 GB's!. Torrentflux isn't installed as I don't use it since a lot of time ago.

Well I think I have server for a lot of time but I want to switch to one of my RaQ 550. They are newer and powerful servers but before I have to change the power supply fan (and I don't need more power in fact).
