Compared to the original setup, some storage devices have been replaced with significantly larger ones. The rest remains unchanged.
This tower PC, which is by no means over-equipped and certainly not particularly heavy, has no specific purpose. It is best suited to folding proteins (Folding@Home), consuming electricity and heating the room.
