|Laptop (Macs)
 
|No.
 
|
 
|
 
|These are few and far between and they get snapped up from the store like that **finger snap**.
 
|-
 
|'''Servers'''
 
|-
 
|Servers (non-multi core)
 
|Yes.
 
|No.
 
|Directly from server build.  If not there, then check the store.
 
|Server triage form needs to be completed.
 
|Check server build and see if they have anything that will fit the build.  Then check the store.  If you cannot find anything that will work, submit the specs to Vagrant.  Vagrant will let us know what we can/cannot do.

|No.
 
|No.
 
|
 
|
 
|
 
|-
 
|Server racks
 
|No.
 
|No.

|
 
|-
 
|'''Monitors'''
 
|-
 
|CRT Monitors
 
|Yes
 
|Yes-Warehouse
 
|Tested CRT Monitor Shelves in Warehouse

|-
 
|Scanners
 
|Occasionally.
 
|Yes-Printerland
 
|Various shelves around the building.  The Hardware Grants Instructor allocates them and brings them to the Hardware Grants shelf.
 
|Printerland doesn't test a lot of scanners, so there may be a wait. The store does not care if Grants has priority for printers.
 
|-
 
|FAX Machine
 
|As is.
 
|Yes-Printerland.
 
|Various shelves around the building.  The Hardware Grants Instructor allocates them and brings them to the Hardware Grants shelf.
 
|Printerland no longer tests FAX Machines, so it may be better to ask for a multi-function printer w/ FAX.  There is no demand for fax machines in the store.
