Projector
- We probably won’t be able to use other Kohrman Hall rooms for talks.
- Since we can’t use another projector, we will have to consider options for getting our own projector for talks.
Router
- We may need a new router, since we are currently encountering problems with our current office router.
- Details about these issues will be discussed as we determine them.
- Possible replacement routers will be considered when we get more information.
Backups
- hellbacon is still looking to get a new server for backups. The price range may be between $600 and $700.
- Some refurbished servers are also being considered, with one option being around $800.
- The specs are 8 cores, 96 GB of RAM, and 10 TB of storage.

- Depending on heat output, we are planning on putting this server in Parkview.
- If we cannot put it in Parkview, it will be put in the Computer Club office.
- This server will also be used for projects, assignments, or virtual machines for Computer Club members.
- Thanks to typo for contributing funds to help us get this new server!
