This weekend I ended up spending an obscene amount of money on new computer stuff for the lab. One major item(s) was a rack chassis with an AMD Phenom 9850 CPU (quad core) and 8GB OCZ RAM to make a nice x32-64 Citrix XenServer. I must be a real nerd, because I got very excited when I opened the RAM box. The shiny heat spreaders made me all gushy. Behold, an image to the left.

It was also time to replace the dozen or so, often unusable inkjet and laser printers laying about. Coming to my door tomorrow is the "Brother MFC-9450CDN Color Laser Multi-Function Center with Networking and Duplex Printing." Nom nom nom...

Finally, I'm working on Solaris 10 / SPARC packages for the collection of OpenVAS releases. Once the process is down, they will be kept current and probably posted here somewhere. IBM AIX will be the next target platform.
