    Lowtax try:
  • Covering the servers in expanding foam to reduce vibration
  • Hook the entire server rack to a olde timey grocer's scale to balance the loads
  • Change out the beeswax seal around the base, a lot of times those can erode and mess up stablility
  • Maybe think about upgrading to the Monster® Brand Cable System. I hear they're coming out with CAT-X EXTREME NETWORKING CABLES
  • Pour out a ring of salt around the server room, this will keep demons out of the system
  • Pour out a ring of borax mixed with corn syrup, this will keep bugs out of the system
  • Roll coal
  • Immerse the servers in vegetable oil to cool them better. You don't have to worry about running the oil through a radiator or anything, I saw a successful bitcoin master do this
  • Red case fans will boost CPU power
  • Use necromancy to enslave the spirits of dead goons and force them to keep the forums stable
  • do everything in the following posts:

Grossly inflate the reg fee and simply charge per-post. Our Soviet era servers and third world tech team will appreciate the massive reduction in post quantity.
