This document is for "Policy" reference when building a box.

You will also find a build specs printout on deadtrees that does not list all the possible combinations of systems that can be built. This was done to keep confusion to a minimum in the build room. For instance, the build spec printout does not indicate that a Core 2 Duo can be built as a highend, however this document indicates that a Core 2 Duo can be built for a highend. Go with what this document indicates as acceptable.

The currently accepted process for having a highend built with a Core 2 Duo is to put a tag on it indicating that it is to be built as a highend. Current goal is to always have 2 built Core 2 Duos on the ready to go shelf(this may change as the number of systems avalible fluctuate).

Freekbox

Freekbox systems are primarily disbursed to volunteers, but can be disbursed through Hardware Grants depending on need

Freekbox can be either FG-PDX, Uncovered, or Covered

PROCESSOR: Intel -- Core 2 Duo or Pentium Dual
CASE: Full Tower, 1/2 Height Tower, NO Ultra Small formfactor
RAM: 1GB DDR2 for Core 2 Duo; 2GB DDR2 for Pentium Dual
HDD: 160GB SATA
OPTICAL: DVD-RW
NIC: Onboard, or PCI 10/100 if necessary
SOUND: Onboard, or PCI if necessary
VIDEO: Onboard, or 256MB PCIe if necessary

Regular

Regular boxes are sold in the store and disbursed through Hardware Grants.

Regular boxes can be either Uncovered, or Covered

PROCESSOR: Intel -- Celeron (Dual Core); AMD -- Athlon 64
CASE: Full Tower, 1/2 Height Tower, Ultra Small formfactor
