== History prior to arriving to UCC ==
[SJY] got this from a friend, possibly from a road-side pickup. This may have something to do with the numerous borked parts it had.

== UCC machine history ==
Arrived two days after the March 22, 2010 hail storm with a note attached to it requesting that [BOB] didn't rage too hard over having more gear in the clubroom. It got revived some time later with a new HDD, and a beefy graphics card, and has been a reliable gaming box ever since.

Was rebuilt in January 2013 after numerous overheating issues and desperately needing an upgrade.

== Current machine tasks ==
Clubroom gaming machine

== Current software configuration ==
Windows 7 pro 64-bit

== Current hardware configuration ==

[SJY] for donating the machine. [BOB] for rebuilding it. [SAS] for purchasing. [TPG] for re-rebuilding it.
