I am afraid you two both live too far north. There is too great a risk
that the severe extremes of low temperature exposure will cause thermal
cycling stresses leading to premature component and board failure. Idealy
a location like where I live in Southern California would be best because
of it's temperate climate. And since I am the nice guy that I am I would
be more than happy to host it for the POV-Ray community.

No, keeping the machine further north will make it easier to overclock
it! ;-)

I have to agree with Mark here. So who live furthest to the north?
Ilive at 66.3395 North. My place would be ideal, cold enough bot not
too much thanks to the Gulf-stream.

I only live in Anchorage, AK (Lat. 61.2185). But
for this I could move to Nome, AK. Or even Barrow, AK.

Funny you should mentioned that. I have always wanted to live in
Longyearbyen on Svalbard (Spitzbergen) at lat. 78.0 while Barrow is at
lat. 71.2905. They have so low taxes there, at least compared to the
mainland. Should be cheaper to import it to because the low tax and
import duties.

As long as I got to play with The Machine.
And of course, there would be times when
the ISP would be down... or something...

Well, soon I have to relocate to CompUSA to
demo some product (need to be there by 1130 am).
Should be back by 9 pm my time. (It's 1030 am now)

The new RenderDrive 2000 equals 35 300MHz Pentium II machines. Not bad at
all. =) Although, I would personally prefer a modified Playstation 2. Much
cheaper. Much more fun. =)
