Lots of things are on my tech shopping list: - 800W Titanium PSU : ~$250. Though I'm not sure of it's return on investment value. Sure it's more efficient, but saving < $0.5/day, sounds like it will take years. Still, it's a Green thing. Also, seemed like the 800W Titaniums…

CentOS 7.2 is out, but took a day or two before it turned up on local mirror. Good thing I mirror everything, mass-updates of multi-VMs in progress. While I'm there, I'd upgrade Wordpress, and any other CMS's around. Busy day!
