You are writing a proposal to purchase a computing system for your own use. You are to go through the exercise of clearly identifying why you need a computing system; defining
the computing system you feel is appropriate to your specific needs; “shopping” for all of the components of that system in order to compare alternatives and select the right components to
address your needs; accurately describing the system you choose. Your system selection must clearly pertain to your computing needs; not just a fantasy. There should be a direct relationship from your expressed computing needs, to the software that enables you to do the work, to the hardware that supports the software, and to the peripherals that support your efforts. Your budget must address each and all of these components.
