Overview
This project brings together hardware assembly and community support. The idea is to source or reuse components, build reliable PCs, and place them where they can make a practical difference.

Build first prototype
Goals
- Define a reliable, affordable PC build for donation use cases
- Establish a repeatable assembly and testing checklist
- Identify partner organizations and donation workflows
- Document the process so others can follow or adapt it
Process
- Research component options and define minimum specs
- Estimate costs and outline donation coordination
- Assemble and test builds once the plan is solid
- Deliver systems and document the workflow
Technical Details
- Target a reliable mid-range component profile for donation use
- Prefer parts that are easy to source, repair, and replace
- Keep assembly and testing steps repeatable with a checklist
Results
- Still in planning
- Draft build profile started
- Clearer understanding of donation logistics
What I Learned
- Clear specs matter more than chasing maximum performance
- Donation logistics need as much planning as the build itself
