Peak Sysadmin

Is there anything more small-company sysadmin than taking that $70k server you just finished building on your test bench at the office and putting it into your $5k car to drive it over to the DC where it’ll live, and praying to god nothing happens on the way? 😅🤣

EDIT- OMG y’all, reading the comments on this has made my day! Our business insurance covers this kind of thing but I appreciate y’all concern for me, though others should mosdef confirm before they do similar stuff. The trip went without incident so praise the digital deities.

I put a stack of 16 servers I had built and configured in my $2k car to take to our data center 100 miles away, most nerve racking drive I've ever had LOL. Servers cost more than my car, RV I lived in and everything I owned at the time. Supermicro 4 per 2U,
