just spend $ on a good virtual server. You can do an Amazon E2C

Some people may not trust "the Cloud". So they host their own.
Right. Having read "The Forbin Project", I like the idea of being able
to pull the plug on the dang things.
Indeed.
The Forbin Project (the movie not the book) is being remade by
Universal [1], I imagine it will include scenes from one of the amazon
EC2 data centers surrounded by all sorts of countermeasures and a
placard with their TOS on the door on it saying, "all data stored here
is ours even though you created it!" Instead of being built in the
center of a mountain. :) Sorry amazon lovers, I don't intend to flame.
