So - unlike a 4(?) years ago - now populating a third (and, after repair, 4th) blade might be way cheaper and basically only cost the HDD plus a few bucks for a CPU and RAM you just need to clean from dust before mounting them to our spare blades

If you'd care enough about who is in charge of our funds as much as you like to troll techstaff, you would remember that you are member of the entity behind Maemo and would show up to meetings and know about it. You might just consider to leave the e.V. when you do not plan to show up to 4 consecutive meetings (for whatever reason).

To answer the actual question, blade mainboards will be swapped for now, techstaff and board will work out the details to populate the then empty slots (2) with hardware that is not doomed to fail and actually being replaced in all datacenters of people I talked to the past 3 days.

We started to discuss ideas about how the setup (best fit) would look for us and so far we came up with the idea of having a 2(old):1(new) setup where 1 can take the load off both old blades, with the option to make it 2:1:1 if we got enough funds for that. We also need to increase storage capacity and it might be a good idea to replace the PSUs while we are at it.
