i dunno why how i can spend 1-2 lakhs on freedom toaster.. can't figure..
must be cheaper i guess.. the major cost might be a better DVD/CD writer..
better to have 2 .. CD writer for only CDs and DVD RW for only DVDs.. if
that aids to the life span of that...
CPU doesn't need to be fast.. since its going to be a single user computer
doing specialized task.. ok unless we want to have a dynamic updating
mechanism.. on the backend still not so much of CPU's turf i guess
HDD.. needs to be fast.. i remember buying 160GB for some 9K i guess..
must've been cheaper... SATA needed..
CD-ROM.... the most essential... save money for this... coz this is surely
going to break down a lot...
touch screen.. well for now.. most ppl know how to use a mouse.. so emm.. i
vote not .. but then it will be totally cool and will get some good
publicity if we have one.. :D who knows if we start this other organizations
will want to implement in other places via foss-nepal... similar to what
COSL said they do..
a robust updateable interface.. software..(real ease of use here)... we need
to make that...
