'''Wood''' is the primary server of the [[VTLUUG]]. It was built in late 2010 with hardware selected by the [[Infrastructure:Wood#Hardware Selection Task Force|Hardware Selection Task Force]]and currently resides in the <s>[[gp:CVL|CVL]] in [[gp:Whittemore Hall|Whittemore Hall]]</s>[[User:uncurlhalo|uncurlhalo's]] house. 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 maystay out of service permanently. This is due,in part, to the horrible mounting and positioning in the case; the motherboard is a full17" square, thus the PSU is mounted to nothing in the front of the case, along with the hard drivesand CD drive. The hardware is listed below, in info about the HSTF. To upgrade to a full 4 processors wouldcost about as much as 2 [[Raspberry Pi]]s <ref>http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Third-Generation-Opteron-8354-OS8354WAL4BGD/dp/B008H4SSH8</ref>,and upgrading the RAM to 32 GiB or so would cost just a little more thanthat <ref>http://www.ebay.com/itm/4GB-KIT-2-x-2GB-DIMM-DDR2-ECC-Unbuffered-PC2-5300-667MHz-667-MHz-4G-Ram-Memory-/221802936396?hash=item33a47c384c:g:5vkAAOSw~ZdVgHYh</ref>.

We were generously allocated $800 in the fall of 2010 and $300 in the spring of 2011 by the [[Student Engineers' Council]].
 <!--Of that, we currently have $75.79 left to spend, if necessary, on the server and associated hardware. not any more... -->
