All of the above items (with the exception of the heaphones) are in the basement against the North wall. When facing the North wall, the monitors are on the shelves on the right while the rest are in labeled boxes on the left. Although they all have (or had) green stickers, I have not personally tested any of the hardware myself. However, I have not gathered the individual pieces into bags. When folks bring the monitors out of the basement, where should the monitors be put? > I think a parent asked about purchasing a second Linux computer. > There are the two "backup" machines from the current batch, but both > have odd problems, and I don't think they should be sent off until > those issues are resolved.
