ICT purchase ideas

Hi Susan!

As per our discussion last week here is a list of items for the Computers/AV in EME 1123:

Projector: ($1892)
1 x NEC NP-U310W-WK1 (includes mount) – $1,165
1 x Apple TV for projector – $109
1 x Extron SI 26CT Speakers – $262
1 x Extron MPA 152 Amplifier for speakers – $206
1 x Kramer wall plate with VGA for legacy connections – $150

Computers: ($7899)
3 x iMac 27” 3.4GHz i7, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB Drive, Radeon HD 6970M 1GB, Applecare – ($2,308 x 3) = $6,924
3 x iMac Vesa mount adapters – ($45 x 3) = $135
3 x Kramer 1Gang wall plate with two WU-AB USB plates (Provides two USB ports in the wall for students) – ($80 x 3) = $240
I will need to find a mount that will adapt to the in-wall boxes in the south wall. I don’t have the manufacturer of those boxes in my notes to make sure I can find the plate. Guesstimate of about $200 each for $600 total.

Media Table: (Size depends on table decided, appx $2100 upper limit for AV gear)
1 x 50” Panasonic Plasma TH-50PF30U – $1,641
or
1 x 46” NEC LED Display X461S – $1,499
or
1 x 47” Panasonic TH 47LF5U – $949
and
1 x Extron SI 26CT Speakers – $262
1 x Extron MPA 152 Amplifier for speakers – $206
1 x Apple TV for Display – $109

All in all it is looking like $11,000 for the Computers and  AV gear. This allows for an ultra short-throw projector to have VGA input from the wall plate and Apple TV for Airplay mirroring of the iMacs or of any other iOS devices that can connect to the network in the room. The sound will be through ceiling speakers above the area in front of the projector. The display will have a similar setup, with cables for connecting VGA if needed as well as an Apple TV for airplay to the screen. Sound as well will be through ceiling speakers above the area.

Let me know if you have any concerns or wish to discuss any alterations to this.

Thanx!
Paul
