[dms-discuss] Fwd: ARS sandbox

[Jim Stewart]

Here's some numbers for the raw parts,
feel free to correct...

i7 Desktop PC            $600
GTX 770 graphics card    $300
Benq MX-620st projector  $550
Sand                     $150
Wood, fasteners, etc     $150
                         -----
Total                   $1750

The PC estimate assumes we build it up
from parts, with some scrounged parts
so the price may vary.

The rest of the items seem fairly non-
negotiable.

I don't see how it's doable without a
sponsor.
