It's that time again where I beg you guys to give me money.
I kid. Actually what I want to do is provide you with the quality you've been trolling this site to find. I don't have any fancy SSDs and I'm not aiming for benchmarks that help you pick up ladies in Starbucks…or Fry's. What I have is powerful hardware, above average network, and friendly support.
We just got a new node setup in Dallas and only a few people on it so far. Check this baby out.
