Special bits about Arthur specifically?

Most of the Optiplexes (Optiplus?) that CIF owns from this generation (those that are presently in use for Roundtable in particular) are identical, though not identical to Arthur. Arthur and Zeta have slightly better processors than those, which should be noted.

Arthur has a custom MOTD, to welcome users. This is subject to change, for no other reason other than why not!
