The machine's high availability features (specifically the RSC) and the fair amount of CPU power make it ideal for some sort of important position on the network.

	During the Summer of 2010, it ~~suffered~~ PSU failure. It's routing/firewally bits were temporarily handed off to sprout, while we tried to find a replacement, since a new PSU would cost enough to make not just replacing cynic silly. It was then consigned to the Redbrick scrap heap of history.		During the Summer of 2010, it started acting up. Initially it powered itself off, the RSC said it was a failure (AC) of PSU1, the machine does, however have a redundant PSU and one PSU failure should not cause it to power off. It was powered on again and about a week later the same thing happened, except this time it was complaining about PSU2, suggesting some other hardware failure. It was then deemed too unreliable to remain in service. It's routing/firewally bits were temporarily handed off to sprout, while we tried to find a replacement, since a new PSU would cost enough to make not just replacing cynic silly. It was then consigned to the Redbrick scrap heap of history. It lay around in the admins way for a while, then returned to whence it came.
