No. Not only that, the heating bill will be cheaper since it will generate enough heat to warm a small village.

He must find a means to harvest that heat energy and sell it to cover server maintenance costs.

Think you misunderstood.
I'm syncing the harddrives on the new server as they're in RAID1, which means they are two mirrored harddrives for increased performance. The data is written and read from both harddrives - there's exactly the same data on both drives.
That also means that if one harddrive gets a failure, it can be replaced without any loss of data. Should that happen you simply replace the faulty harddrive with a new one and resync them (mirror the data from the other harddrive).
Anyway, I'm ranting.

Yeah we've had enough downtimes.
* I'll move over all the data (actual files, database, mail accounts etc) and check so that it's working on the new server.
* Then I'll put the forums offline here, make a database backup and transfer that over to the new server (should take about 15 minutes, both servers are on 100Mbit/s connections)
* Then import the database on the new server and enable the forums on the new server as well.
* Then make the DNS changes for the domain and people will pop up at the new server once their DNS resolves (will be anything from 5 minutes to 24 hours depending on ISP)
* And finally I'll be posting a little message on the old site that the forum has been moved to a new server with directions on how they can change their hosts file to access the new server immediately.

It's not uncommon with 12-24 GB RAM for servers these days, at least not for the high-end ones. RAM is relatively cheap today if you compare it to 3-4 years ago (by that I mean how much you need to run a big site with lots of mysql queries)
I'm actually renting the server hardware (dedicated server) through a hosting company, I have no idea how much the parts cost though but I'm paying a monthly fee for the server and traffic so I guess it covers the setup fees (I paid some setup fees though) plus traffic. Yeah it's not cheap
