Current Hardware

Warning, the following list is a beta, work-in-progress and as such maybe incomplete or inaccurate.

Miscellaneous items in the office but not yet categorized include working Dell Latitude laptop running LUbuntu, one or two keyboard/mouse sets, a Linksys Router running Tomato, a Linksys WAP, and miscellaneous display and network cables.  All items purchased under the $8,000 budget are listed below and unlisted here.

$8,000 budget

Already spent/purchased:

Remaining Budget: $7,295

Future and planned purchases:

Immediate Needs:

The hardware below is meant to be purchased immediately.

Remaining Budget: $5,105

Future Needs:

There are two proposed budgets below.  One assumes we will be able to salvage desktop towers using a hand-truck, however, this is contingent upon us coming up with an on-site storage and processing location for incoming freecycled hardware.  With such a location, we will be able to receive free desktop towers thrown out as obsolete over the Christmas and Holiday season.  In the future, this space could also be used to salvage computers for the churches and other off-site locations at no additional cost to the tech-ops group.  The budget immediately below are items common to both the on-site and off-site budget, but not needed in the immediate future.

Regardless of Available Space:

Remaining Budget: $2,090

With Available Space:

Remaining Budget: $1,840

With No Available Space:

Remaining Budget: $390

Other Budgetary Expenditures / Concerns:

A license for Ubuntu Advantage is required to easily manage, upgrade and deploy the office and remote hardware.  We do not have a price on this yet.  Minor, sub-$30 miscellaneous purchases have not been considered above and can be done locally, such as speakers, headphones, and cables for whatever we buy.
