Well I got in at 8am this morning to one of our servers being down, an old gateway one, which is still essential to our business (We have two of them) anyway I went to see what was wrong and noticed that BOTH PSUs had failed... totally and utterly...
Ok... well our plan was to take out one of the PSU from the second Gateway server and have one in each... we were just looking at the PSU sizing it up when with a huge bang and flash one of the PSUs on the second server gave way... so there went that plan.... my luck...
So we have a supplier contract for the two (7 year old mind you) Gateway servers and have just been told that the only place in the UK they can find the PSUs (proprietary gateway PSU) is in scotland (I'm based in Chester)... so I'm going to be here untill about 7.30ish tonight... all fun and games.
I just thank god that it didnt go yesterday when the England match was on... wouldnt of been impressed then... I was thinking about going out tonight as well... dont think thats going to happen
