== UCC machine history ==
Acquired in ~2020 by Stuart Duncan, resurrected and updated in 2023 by [BRD]

== Current machine tasks ==
Clubroom Mac machine

== Current software configuration ==
OpenCore Legacy Patched MacOS Monterey 12.6.3 (21G419)

== Current hardware configuration ==
|| Motherboard |||| MacPro5,1 Stock ||
|| CPU |||| 2.8GHz Intel Quad Core Xeon W3530 ||
|| RAM |||| 24 GB 1066MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM||
|| Graphics Card |||| ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB ||
|| Disk Drive |||| It actually has one! MacPro5,1 Stock ||
|| Power Supply |||| MacPro5,1 Stock ||
|| HDD |||| 3x 1TB WD Black, RAID5 (?)  ||

== Future plans for the machine ==
 * Upgrade GPU to flashed GTX680 for Metal support.  
 * Obtain new CPU (perhaps something like X5675) and 1333MHz RAM - should be pretty cheap on disposals.
 * Keep an eye out for newer Radeon GPU - e.g. 7950, 7970, R9 280X  
 * Purchase a SATA SSD as a new main disk - TLC with DRAM - e.g. MX500 is often pretty cheap ~$80/1TB

== Thanks to: ==
 * [???] (Stuart Duncan), who donated the machine (see Committee Meeting Minutes 2020-01-27)
 * [BRD] , who set it up in UCC.
 * [TRS] , who donated a GTX680.
