Editing Phoenix (section)

==== History ====
Based on the popular [http://global.shuttle.com/products/productsDetail?productId=481 Shuttle SN45G] platform, Phoenix was one of several Delphi-class machines constructed in the First Age. The class was noted for its easy LAN-portability (further enhanced by a bespoke carrying case), as well as performance that easily matched full-size towers of the era. The primary downside of the class was price; though they combined chassis, PSU and motherboard into a single purchase, Shuttle SFF kits commanded a high premium over more traditional components.

Upon its construction in 2003, Phoenix, then designated "Oracle," served as Oz's primary gaming and LAN computer, relegating its contemporary [[Hex]] to use as a LAN spare and video editing rig. The machine was overrun by a disastrous slew of viruses by a badly infected machine at a LAN, resulting in a reformat and recommission under its final designation.

Late in its service, Phoenix was fit with an additional hard drive, an upgrade outside the specifications of the SN45G platform. The added heat caused one or both hard drives to shut down intermittently, necessitating added cooling.
