 ===Making the Commitment===
-We ask all who join the Build Program to commit to building at least 5 computers for us (and taking home the 6th, if they'd like).  It takes a lot of time and energy to show even the most experienced builders how to build at Free Geek.  Also, in order to learn the job well, a builder needs to be exposed to about 6 computers.  You can estimate an approximate '''60 - 80 hour time commitment''' over at least 8 weeks to complete this requirement.
