The Office of Information Technology (OIT) recommends standard builds for PSU computers. Maintaining standard builds allows OIT to service PSU computers efficiently and ensure their full compatibility with PSU systems, in addition to providing you with the best price based on volume pricing.
OIT regularly evaluates these standard configurations to ensure that PSU computers continue to meet standards of pricing, robustness, and compatibility. OIT also recommends and strives to purchase only computer hardware that meets standards for ENERGY STAR® and Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) Gold qualifications. All the hardware listed below is both EPEAT Gold and ENERGY STAR® qualified.
