Wood was the primary server of the VTLUUG. It was built in late 2010 with hardware
selected by the Hardware Selection Task Force
and currently resides in the CVL in Whittemore Hall
uncurlhalo's house the ECE Server Closet. The name "wood" was given to the server based on the
fact that until March 5th, 2011, it had no case and rested on a piece of plywood instead.
Wood is not currently in service due to the CVL eviction. Wood also has a tendency to short whenever someone touches the case, meaning it may stay out of service permanently. This is due, in part, to the horrible mounting and positioning in the case; the motherboard is a full 17" square, thus the PSU is mounted to nothing in the front of the case, along with the hard drives and CD drive.
The hardware is listed below, in info about the HSTF. To upgrade to a full 4 processors would cost about as much as 2 Raspberry Pis [1], and upgrading the RAM to 32 GiB or so would cost just a little more than that [2].
echarlie has set aside a 4U enclosure no longer in use by WUVT for use for wood. This enclosure has a better mounting layout, and *might* not cause Wood to short. It also has a power button.
