Brainstorming a MetaLab

Media_httpwwwstrangea_nctgx
We have an empty lab in the SoC that is currently used by students who bring in laptops. It used to be populated with standard desktop machines but as we already have two other labs full of similar machines, actually four labs if you consider the honours and MSc labs, it was felt that the space could be used for something more exciting. The current thinking is to develop a techzone although I have taken to calling it the MetaLab. The idea is that we use the budget which would otherwise buy a lap full of regular machines, and spend it on more interesting gear that could be used in teaching and research projects by staff and students, although primarily aimed at student use. With that in mind, and because I am on the initial brain-storming committee, I have started putting together some ideas on my research wiki.
