Ok so at my work we are doing some remodeling. We are building a new conference room. Not too big, about 20 ft long. So my boss approaches me (I have the rep of being the local techno geek around there. My job has nothing to do with IT or computers) and asks tells me that they want to have a 40" monitor on the wall that they can do video conferencing with. The room is still in the framing stages so today he and I layed out the wiring that would have to be done so that the framers could do the conduits correctly. So basically I am anticipating that he will ask me to do the PC build for this project soon.
Here are the only requirements that he wants (that i know so far):
-40" screen (I'm sure that is a bit flexible)
-Wireless keyboard/mouse that can be used anywhere in the room
-capable of video chat/skype etc.
-Cheap (He is a tight-wad)
-He wants to be able to eventually mount speakers into the hanging ceiling above. It will have the sleeves in place to do it already. It would be ideal if this could be done without an external amp.
-Budget unknown at this point, but he sure seems intent on doing it. He visited another business that had it and now he wants it.
-Display connected via HDMI
I threw this list together very quickly. It may be totally wrong, but i had to start somewhere. I have never done a small build like this, and I need to tap into everyone's knowledge here. Remember that the PCs primary, and probably only use will be video conferencing. And probably some slideshows and stuff like that. Nothing big. This room will probably be vacant most days of the week.
Please take a look at the list and make changes and suggestions based on my needs. I really appreciate it. Feel free to ask questions too.
