Raven

Raven is a desktop computer.

History

Fall 2010 upgrade with RevoDrive 120GB SSD and 2TB Caviar Black Fall 2009 upgrade with Patriot 32GB SSD Spring 2009 - initial build

Hardware

• Shuttle SX48P2 Deluxe case and motherboard
• Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz
• 8GB DDR3 1066 memory

Drives

• WD Velociraptor 300, WDC WD3000HLFS-01G6U3, FwRev=04.04V05, s/n WD-WXL608035725

(which replaced this one that died under warranty WD Raptor 10K RPM SATA, WDC WD3000HLFS-01G6U0, s/n WD-WXLY08084357)

• OCZ REVODRIVE 120GB, FwRev=1.20, s/n OCZ-GYY134R2861260WR Nov 2010
• Caviar Black 2TB, WDC WD2001FASS-00W2B0, FwRev=05.01D05, s/n WD-WMAY00310595 Nov 2010

I used to use this, it's not installed anywhere right now.

• Patriot "Warp V2" 32 GB SSD, SATA I/II, 2.5" s/n MK050943085B30039 Fall 2009

The case includes a fingerprint scanner, bluetooth and a wifi card. I pulled the wifi card (which has a USB interface) and use it somewhere else now.

Software

It is currently running 10.10 Ubuntu.
I often use it to run VirtualBox so that I can use ESRI ArcGIS.
