Fun Fact: Lightning blew out everything in my house, and nearly set it on fire, while I was in Italy in 2003. The only things spared were in my room, since everything was on redundant power strips. However, it got my phone...and my monitor. Since it got the monitor, I wasn't sure what had happened to the other components, so I decided to file a claim then in case something went wrong later. Thus, FitzSheba was born at least two years before she was expected. There have been no problems with the Sheba components re-used in the build.

Use: Vivian's primary computer until her birthday, when she will recieve VIVSHEBA B
Fun Fact: A friend at work gave this thing to me, dead. I combined several parts of the old Gateway (which was finally, fatally killed by the lightning) that I had kept for no real reason, and this Frankensteined thing was born. Scarily enough, in Windows XP Pro, it runs like a greased ethnic minority. When VivSheba B is born, this thing is going to be added to my network and used just to run distributed computing clients until it dies.
