It's probably eight or nine years old now, an ASRock motherboard with I 
don't even know what on it in the way of processor speed or power. I 
should probably pick up another machine but I can't justify the expense 
because it's only for play, FTP, and running this Asterisk project, 
which is complete enough now that I don't have to mess with it any more. 
Who knows--it might even wind up on a spare Raspberry Pi 4, in which 
case this whole tower can just go away.
