Delilah, the righthand-most unit of the three computer towers pictured above, is the main data server for CoyoteNET Digital System Solutions in Ridgecrest, California. She is a massive machine with 1240GB of storage on six IDE hard drives. This computer was one year in the making, having a great deal of research devoted to the final design which is in its forth major revision and upgrade.

It started life in August of 2001 as a Windows98 computer built inside a Superpower Polaris tower, serving as the music workstation in the early days of Walnut Hill Productions. Later, it was moved to the server room at CoyoteNET Digital System Solutions to use as a file server for the machines that were serviced there. The system got an Dynamax server tower in 2003 with redundant power supplies. Today, it is once again in the possession of Walnut Hill Productions and is everything from a repository for software installers to a multimedia powerhouse for audio tracking and post-edit production in the multitrack domain as well as video streaming and editing.

Pictured above is the system board of this huge machine, made by Gigabyte Technologies. Note the heat sinks on the memory modules and the many drive cables running up to the six hard drives to the right of the Intel core. Delilah is operated by Richard Mogridge, the Head Nerd at CoyoteNET and Executive Producer for Walnut Hill Productions.
