Heisenberg
History
Heisenberg is a rack server (can't remember specs, it's storage is currently not cooperating so it is mostly functioning as a dust catcher right now) salvaged from the physics department electronics liberation pile, as frequently found in physics building lobby, by fun and geekity. It's name was not only a reference to its origins in NCSR, but also due to the finders not knowing the speed of its processors but having a fairly accurate measurement of their location, upon discovery. For a more mathematical treatment of the subject, feel free to contact geekity.
Other equipment salvaged included a couple of flat screen monitors, a CRT monitor to be used for archery target practice and some antique cameras, amongst others.
Heisenberg currently crouches under one of the tables in N109A, awaiting some TLC.
