[tech] New linux machine

[Bob Adamson]

The "Want" email I sent earlier in the year with the specs and prices for 
a new linux machine is pretty out of date now, so I came up with a new 
box. This machine can either replace humpback, be one of the first 
machines to use a new bench place after the cleanup, or replace a thinterm 
if the thinterm moves to the corridor. If it becomes a additional machine 
instead of a replacement, we will also need a screen, mouse and keyboard. 
This will be discussed at the committee meeting on Tuesday, and I would be 
interested to hear people's opinions on the matter.

(previous price was $822, and this build has better specs)

All from netplus unless noted otherwise. We already have all the
peripherals, screens, etc, so this is just the box.

Security needs also depend on what place this box takes - we'll need more 
cables and locks if it becomes an additional machine. Again, this will be 
discussed at the next committee meeting before purchase.
