+That could be one option.

+And the other would be to see if HP would sponsor a server with atleast
+the same specs or better.
+
+So 1-2 Quad cpu, 16GB RAM (or more), 1-2 2TB disks (preferably raid 1
+for system and storage (multiple isos), raid0 for build data, maybe a
+SSD for the ISO build if possible, and preferably a iLO card
+
+the thing about lots of ram, is so we could build some on tmpfs, and
+then I guess we wouldn't need ssd.
