History prior to arriving to UCC

[SJY] got this from a friend, possibly from a road-side pickup. This may have something to do with the numerous borked parts it had.

UCC machine history

Arrived two days after the March 22, 2010 hail storm with a note attached to it requesting that [BOB] didn't rage too hard over having more gear in the clubroom. It got revived some time later with a new HDD, and a beefy graphics card, and has been a reliable gaming box ever since.

Was rebuilt in January 2013 after numerous overheating issues and desperately needing an upgrade.
