Kiosks+2.0

=Kiosks 2.0=

Computer
The computer in the 2.0 kiosks will not have its own enclosure. Instead, the frame of the kiosk itself functions as the primary enclosure. This has many advantages; among them a unified cooling system.

Preliminary hardware:
 * [|Intel Pentium E5200] x1
 * [|MSI G31M3-L V2] x1
 * [|Kingston ValueRAM 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800] x1
 * [|Rosewill Stallion Series RD400-2-SB 400W] x1
 * [|ENERMAX UC-12EB 120mm Case Fan] x2

Hard disks:
 * [|Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB]

Under consideration:
 * [|Seagate Barracuda LP 1TB 5900 RPM] - lower power consumption, runs cooler, possibly quieter
 * Quieter CPU coolers:
 * [|Rosewill RCX-Z300 92mm Ball CPU Cooler]
 * [|1x COOLER MASTER RR-CCH-P912-GP 92mm Sleeve CPU Cooler]
 * [|1x VANTEC NexStar NST-D100SU]

Base station
There are a number of concerns with integrating off-the-shelf parts, as there is some variability of size amongst both ATX PSUs and microATX motherboards.

For the PSU:
 * Standard dimensions are 150x146x86mm
 * The 150x86 dimensions are fairly static. Our reference PSU is very close on these dimensions.
 * The 146mm dimension (approximately how "deep" the PSU is) can vary much more. Our reference is larger, but not by much, say 5mm.

For the motherboard:
 * Standard dimensions: 9.6in x 9.6in
 * Reference: 9.6x7.6
 * Variation can occur in both dimensions
 * Our design can currently support at most 9.6x8.35in motherboard, assuming that we want to plug in cables with headers no longer than 2.25"
 * Motherboards for lower-end processors fit this quite easily; high-end processors (Core 2, etc.) almost universally utilize all the space.
 * There are sufficient boards on the market of our current processor type that meet these demands

Intake size:
 * Our fans have an intake area of ~1.25*1.25*pi = ~5 sq in.
 * Assuming an intake width of 5.5 in (1/2 in border on either side) and a grill that obscures approximately 1/2 of the area, the height required for the intake is approximately 1.8 inches.

Modifications

 * Move data drive to ceiling of peripheral side
 * Add holes ad slots for keys and locks
 * Move motherboard holes away from edges
