Old Uranium is a DEC3000/600 sitting on the top of one of the racks (probably the raetero rack). It's a heavy desktop turbochannel machine with some architectural interest. It was retired in favor of formerly-new-uranium, a PWS 433au, around 2006 or 2007, but kept around because of its relative uniqueness as hardware. (the 433au has since been disposed of and uranium is now a much faster newer alpha) It's a first generation alpha, 175 MHz 21064, 224 megs of very unique and uncommon memory, a turbochannel bus, and IIRC an FDDI card. Be careful booting it because it will configure itself with uranium's IP address. The root password is probably not club standard.. Boot it single user and change, i'm not sure i'll remember it anymore.

Old uranium can be seen in this photo (when it was still uranium): http://www.club.cc.cmu.edu/photos/move/IM000479.JPG , where it is the largish looking box in the very center of the photo (with a green plastic plate on the front bezel).
