Thanks all. Harry, Scott, and I conferred today re the division of responsibilities between Montreal : media, everything that goes into the rack; and SF: physical installation, everything that needs to be attached to the frame of the screen.
I'll be in Montreal 22h00 tonite till Saturday 13h00. Harry and everyone, the best times for me to come see and work with what JS Michael and Navid have prepared appear to be
Wednesday after 6:00 pm, and Friday after 6 pm.
See you soon!
Xin Wei

for some reason my configurations don't seem to be present in all the links that I posted. Basically for all of them it should be maxCPU power, 4gig ram is good, and for the mini a mini-display adaptor is needed.On Mon, May 31, 2010 at 9:26 PM, Navid Navab <navid.nav@gmail.com> wrote:Navid - if you need hardware (say a computer for sound) - please spec it! You can go to the Apple Store - it's an interesting experience... Or go online. Be sure to get an educational discount. If we're getting enough Apple Hardware in one batch - it could cost less saying we're a business :P .This should be good enough for ilya.snd stuff:Considering that with the macMini we might also need to ship a screen then an iMac is also good:After ilya the iMac could be put on Jane's desk for admin stuff or become the lab spatialization interface, etc OR if we get a mac-mini then the mac-mini could circulate for a lot of tasks.I personally prefer a powerful macBookPro for many reasons but all three choices would work for me so I like to leave the decision up to the rest of you based on budget and lab-needs.best,-Nav
