I took apart DAVEN, to do the quarterly cleaning of dust from the inside. I then noticed that its hard drives (all four of them) were made by a different manufacturer.
- Seagate
- Maxtor
- Western Digital
- Quantum
Two of the drives were made in Singapore. One was made in China, the other made in Indonesia. There is a CD-ROM drive in this computer, but it is disconnected because the IDE controllers are filled with hard drives. I have a SCSI card and SCSI CDROM drive that I may put in it to fix that problem.
On the bottom of the case there is a label which says "Assembled in U.S.A.". It may have been assembled in the U.S., but every component inside was made in an Asian country. Taiwan seems to be the major place for making motherboards.
