	Constructed in October 2004, Talyn was intended to take over ~~Oz K.'s~~ desktop duties from ~~its predecessor~~ [[Phoenix]]. Specced with near-top-of-the-line parts for ~~the~~ era, the selection of the MicroATX case was an attempted continuation of ~~the~~ LAN-proven portability ~~of the previous computer.~~		Constructed October 2004, Talyn was intended to take over desktop duties from [[Phoenix]]. Specced with near-top of the line parts for its era, the selection of the MicroATX case was an attempted continuation of its predecessor's LAN-proven portability.

	Talyn, however, was a complete failure. In place of Phoenix's cool temperament was volatile, hot-headed behavior; in place of Phoenix's fine performance was confusingly slow speeds; in place of Phoenix's low power requirements stood a machine that literally required five power plugs for conventional operation (LAN operations dropped this requirement no lower than three). Voltage for the processor was low enough to cause repeated, random resets, and the motherboard's BIOS did not have any setting for increasing said voltage.

	Talyn ~~had the shortest lifespan~~ of ~~any systems used personally by the Earl~~. ~~It operated~~ (~~with many issues) for~~ less than ~~a year, before suffering permanent GPU failure~~. ~~While a replacement card could have been requisitioned, it could have prompted an [[Upgrade Cascade]]; a GPU replacement would require a PCIe x16 slot~~, ~~necessitating a new motherboard~~, ~~which in turn would require a new platform~~ and ~~improved power supply; as its existing power supply was proprietary, the swap would require a new case, at which point~~ the ~~endeavor would have been an entirely new build~~.		The attempt was a complete failure. Compared to Phoenix's cool temperament, Talyn was volatile and hot-headed (figuratively and literally). Performance never passed muster, failing to exceed that of its predecessor. And where Phoenix sipped power, Talyn required five power outlets for conventional operation (LAN operations dropped this requirement to no less than three). Low processor voltage caused intermittent, unpredictable resets, and no BIOS tweaks were available to remedy the issue.

	Talyn was decommissioned in late summer 2005, and replaced by [[343 Guilty Spark]].		Talyn had the shortest lifespan of any systems used personally by the Earl. It operated (with many issues) for less than a year, before suffering permanent GPU failure. Solving the problem nearly prompted an [[Upgrade Cascade]]; a GPU replacement would require a PCIe x16 slot, necessitating a new motherboard, which in turn would require a new platform and improved power supply; as its existing power supply was proprietary, the swap would require a new case, at which point the endeavor would have been an entirely new build. The system was decommissioned in late summer 2005, and replaced by [[343 Guilty Spark]].
