IT Equipment wishlist

• replace all of the old printers in sector: four in student rooms.

The HP P3005x is about the same price as the Lexmark with equivalent specs- it's the smallest HP serious workgroup printer (the next one down only has 32Mb ram which isn't enough) and HP is a known quantity so I'd buy that rather than Lexmark. 440 plus vat for the DTN model. We'd want extra RAM which puts the price up.

Alternatively move eclipse to a student room and buy a p2015x (230 plus VAT) for 375 plus three workgroup machines.

• replace all CRT monitors with 19" flat screens. There are 12 CRTs in student/postdoc/visitor rooms. Basic 19" Iiyama is 155ukp inc VAT so 1860ukp
• replace dodgy chairs
• replace some of the older workstations (basic model 450, performance model 900)
• new backup server with greater capacity (8Tb pedestal) 3.5K inc VAT
• file server (2x decent machines, about 6K)
• more seats for Pathscale licence
• scanners?
• laptop for loaning out to students for conferences (last time this was officially the COs' laptop but in practice was used as a loaner)
