<p>Dear tech and committee,</p>
<p>Here is a quick parts list which I propose to buy to replace
Porcupine (or to replace Cobra/Catfish and swap some bits around
to eventually end up with a suitable replacement). This is a
fairly high end system using the latest 8th gen Intel CPUs and a
reasonable quality motherboard.<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Intel i7-8700T - $300 (<a moz-do-not-send="true"

<li>ASRock B360M LGA1151-CL mATX motherboard - $110 (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"

<ul>
<li>Note: cheaper motherboards use Realtek LAN<br>
</li>
</ul>
<li>8GB DDR4-2666 RAM - $120 (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.ple.com.au/Products/632330/GeIL-8GB-Single-DDR4-Pristine-C19-2666MHz">https://www.ple.com.au/Products/632330/GeIL-8GB-Single-DDR4-Pristine-C19-2666MHz</a>)</li>
<ul>
<li>if 8GB RAM is not enough, 16GB DDR4-2666 modules can be
found for $220 (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.ple.com.au/Products/628441/GeIL-16GB-Kit-2x8GB-DDR4-EVO-X-RGB-LED-C16-2400MHz">https://www.ple.com.au/Products/628441/GeIL-16GB-Kit-2x8GB-DDR4-EVO-X-RGB-LED-C16-2400MHz</a>)
however this has the potential to go over-budget<br>
</li>
</ul>
<li>500GB SSD - $170 (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.ple.com.au/Products/630702/Crucial-MX500-500GB-SATA-25-7mm-SSD">https://www.ple.com.au/Products/630702/Crucial-MX500-500GB-SATA-25-7mm-SSD</a>)</li>
<li>Power supply - use existing<br>
</li>
<li>Graphics card - use existing</li>
<li>Case - use existing</li>
</ul>
<p>Total cost for this build should be around $700, within the
budget as proposed in the minutes <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.ucc.asn.au/infobase/minutes/2018/2018-07-31.ucc">here</a>.</p>
<p>Please provide feedback on any cost-saving measures, missing
components, if this is under or over specced etc.<br>
