No. Truth be told, the power supply on the 1U Penguin is a little too noisy for my tastes. So I ordered a replacement, but I'm too lazy to install it.

And then my buddy said that they would be happy to pay me for my consulting gig with a deal for a 1U Sun machine, a Netra 115, for $800 if I like. So I got that going for me, but y'know, I'm not even gonna take the deal. it's really not for lack of CPU cycles that all the sites I run operate. Machines are not the problem - they are cheap and utterly fast nowadays. The problem is generally more likely to be bandwidth, and above that, and above all else, marketing.
