PBW Down? - Back up!

Geo, we've got the rack space and static IP addresses available. Depending on the requirements, we should have 99% of the parts in stock at work. If it's a x86 application that is. If it's not more than $100 or so, I'll pay for the parts myself to get another server ready.

I don't know about mirroring, but if PBW went down again and assuming the data files would fit onto a CD-R or two, burn the PBW data files and Fed-Ex them over. I could put them on the backup server and post the IP addresses here in the forums.
Once the main site is back, I'd shut down the site, upload the latest files to you then redirect traffic back to the main PBW server.

Just an idea, if you're interested email me.
