A piece of Scream And Fly history - an old find!
So I was going through old boxes filled with computer stuff and I came across Scream And Fly's very first web server. That's right, the machine that started it all - before we were even hosted on a real server. This is it people, the machine that built and hosted the original Scream And Fly.com, back in 1998. It's a screamer too! Well, back in the day it was a good stuff! It's all original, and works perfectly. I have no idea what I'll do with it now though. Would be a shame to throw it out.
Specs:
Dell XPS-R 400
Pentium II 400MHz
96 MB PC100 SDRAM
STB Velocity 128 graphics card, 8MB frame buffer (woohoo!)
10GB, 5400RPM hard disk. The average bare Windows XP installation wouldn't even fit on this drive now.
Turtle Beach Montego A3D sound card (remember those?)
DVD-ROM drive
Ricoh MP-6200A 2X CD-RW drive. Yup, the legendary MP-6200A - you know, the one that could copy Sony Playstation discs without any problems? Yes, that's the one! It was $800 at the time!
Iomega Zip-100 drive. What a waste that was.
Classic!

No reason you could not make it a Scream and Fly "Server" again, just use it for S&F parties and events. I'll even do the upgrades!

10 meg hard drive!!!! How many members at the time? I think I started checking out the furms at around that time or maybe in 99, when I puchased my first PC. AOpen AK33 MB, 700 Duron, Asus V3800 32 meg TNT2 video card, 15 gig Maxtor (big at the time, said I'd never need anything bigger, still running by the way!), 32 megs of ram, US Robotics 56 k modem. Cost me a thousand bucks (not including monitor, keyboard or mouse) and put it together myself. I'd hang on to that thing. Maybe Raceman can put it in his museum .

I think that was a typo (oops) - it's a 10GB hard disk.
