Most of tonight was spent researching prices online from different vendors.
3 Motherboards
3 CPUs
5 Memory modules - 128MB
5 Hard drives
1 Floppy
6 Wireless NICS
1 Router
3 PC Cases
1 Wired NIC
1 56K Modem
Many of the vendors that offered this equipment had very high prices the research
that was done on this was at numerous sites. After much deliberation and careful
planning, we decided to go with a company called World Wide Telecom, where we could
purchase all of the equipment that we needed at one time. We did this because it offered
all the equipment we needed from one vendor at a price that was within our budget of
two thousand dollars.

Setbacks:
There was a couple of disappointing setbacks today. First, we forgot about
shipping cost the average to have all the equipment shipped to the hope center was
between two hundred and fifty dollars and three hundred dollars. Second, it was difficult
to find one vendor who could sell us all the equipment needed to implement this network.
