    (Weather Maine's Weather Server)

  • Weather Maine's weather server is a Super Micro P6DGE with twin Pentium II 400MHz processors and 384 MB SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Read Only Memory). It has a new BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) chip and new CPU (Central Processing Unit) fans to make it run quietly. It has a 12volt Blue Cold Cathode fluorescent light on the inside, and the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is stealthed, or hidden from view. It has round braided IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) cables to increase air flow in the case. The case has the side cut out to allow for visibility into the inside of the case. All cables are hidden, and the PC only has a NIC (Network Interface Card) and an AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Video Card. The GPU (Graphical Processing Unit) is an ATI Radeaon 9000-based card. This PC was upgraded recently with a new BIOS chip and a new HDD; the NIC and AGP GPU are also new. The new case and new power supply made the biggest difference- the leading causes of computer errors and problems can be related to a failing power supply. Heat of course is a big concern as well, but cooling usually comes at the expense of the noise levels.
