Restore Aardwolf's Legacy: Rebuild His Ark Game Servers

Our goal is to purchase, ship, and rebuild as much of the original equipment used by Aardwolf for his ARK: Survival Evolved/Ascended servers so that we can have all maps running again for our community as quickly and economically as possible. These would be for all original clusters; Desolation Chaos, Free Spirit, My Other Life ASA, and My Other Life ASE. On Wednesday, October 30th, we lost our beloved friend and patron who created and supported our community. Together, we can continue his dreams.

Aardwolf's daughter will be at his home the weekend of November 22nd to care for him and his last needs. She has agreed to take them apart and send the most vital interior parts to us. This would be motherboards, memory, hard drives, power supplies, and wiring. To save on shipping, we won't keep the cases but use the money to buy new ones. We will need to purchase new cases, fans, a network switch and cables, and various sundries to complete everything.

We don't know the exact specifications of the machines that Aardwolf left us with, so our starting bid to his daughter for the purchase may change. We are also only able to guess at the costs of shipping and what cases and supplies we will need until we have the parts delivered. So we're starting with the estimated goal of $3000 and hope that will cover the expenses.

Thank you to everyone who will help.
