The point is, this does not include the design for any of those components. It would be open source hardware design if it included the design of a monitor, mouse, keyboard, computer data storage, hard disk drive (HDD), graphic card, sound card, memory, motherboard. Open source design of any of those components would be open source hardware design. As it is, what they provided uses closed source hardware components. The hardware parts? They're nvidia cards and intel processors -- not open source. In this case it is the build specification that is open source. I guess there is a blurred line between the two. I would call circuit board designs that include a closed source chip or two as open source hardware. I just think the line should be lower level for it to be called "hardware design" as opposed to "build specification".
