In 2020, Oz began preparing a Power Mac G4 chassis for Heart of Gold's new housing. Upgrades were acquired in the form of a Ryzen 5800X (replacing a 3900X) and a GeForce 3070 (replacing a Titan Xp). After months of measurements, modifications, field tests and adjustments, the refit was competed May 30, 2021 at the new [[Mustard Manor]] chipyards. While adjustments to cooling and internal fit are still needed, and some minor issues are still outstanding, the project appears to be a success. The Heart of Gold is presently the most powerful stealth system in the CELAN Fleet -- as well as the only stealth system outside of the [[Auxiliary Fleet]].

The Heart of Gold, aka "Goldie," is a Quasar-type homunculus and part of the Auxiliary Fleet.

History[edit]

Constructed in late 2019 at the CELAN Aperture Labs Chipyards, Heart of Gold maintained most of the components from Lightstricken's previous system, Bistromath. The recommission was primarily a switch from Bistromath's 8th-generation Intel platform to 3rd-generation Ryzen, a swap which necessitated a few added pieces for such issues as AIO fit, lighting control and others. Heart of Gold was later moved from its NZXT housing to a Thermaltake Level 20 VT cube chassis.

Refit and recommission[edit]

In 2020, Lightstricken began preparing a Power Mac G4 chassis for a new desktop build, removing a number of Heart of Gold's core components in the process. Replaced by Vergil, Heart of Gold was briefly in disuse. However, with the potential return of LANning following the Big Sick, the system was refit with a new CPU and storage in order to bolster the Auxiliary Fleet.
