Hellos, here are the deets:

CONFIG:
Intel Atom CPU N450 @ 1.66GHz x 2
2GiB RAM
HD 243.9 GB

STATE
About five or so years old machines. -All of them need new keyboards, and about 4 of them need new displays.

REPAIR CO$T:
Some people won't mind typing on the keyboard holes, while we buy the keyboards, oh yeah, the cost. I ran a quick search and each keyboard is between 7-15 bucks each.

WHY?
The current owners don't like them, besides that they been vandalized (Users removed keyboard keys from all keyboards, and about three w smashed displays). Besides that they feel that they run too slow for the software they would like to use.

MY TAKE:
My take is that for Sudoroom they will be just fine. I brought one home to test and installed Ubuntu 14.4 LTS 32Bit (they may take 64Bit) and it is running fine while browsing, emailing, IRC-ing. :)

WHAT IS THE THING?
There are two thing, a) I cannot be the Sudo representative. b) The process usually takes about a month - two months to get it completed; so we can start getting the ball rolling next week.


Daniel
p.s. of course we should get it! :)
