Wishlist
For everything in this list we are accepting both donations of items and lending of items.
Abbreviations used: D - Donations. A straight up donation, where SkullSpace gets ownership of the item. L - Lending. A form of borrowing where the owner retains ownership but lends the item to skullspace indefinitely. The owner will have to sign a piece of paper stating that a) if if gets broken, SkullSpace or whomever broke it isn't liable, the owner is basically boned and b) the owner must provide at least 30 days notice before removing the item from the space (taking it back), in order to allow SkullSpace to obtain a replacement.
If SkullSpace receives an item on the wishlist, please move the item to the Wishlist Archive.

Wants
Things we don't need on day 1, but moving forward we would very much like to acquire.
| Item | Notes | Cost/Donator | Have it? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microphone | Something you can clip on your clothes, this is for presenters giving talks. Something suitable to feed into a recording setup. | $?? | No |
| Recording system / Media center | Basically a computer dedicated to recording. Needs a decent hard drive or fast fileserver access (raw DV is 3MB/s). Also might need a firewire port (depends on camera), doesn't need much else really. Ethernet connection to the presentation laptop to grab a stream of the screen. This could double as a media centre for playing music when we are not presenting. In this case it needs a sound card. | $?? | No |

| TV | For video games - flatscreen LCD would be best (we have CRT) | $?? | No |

| Printer | Samsung CLP-310N | L - Andrew | No |
| 3D Printer | MakerBot or something we could assemble as a project would be cool. Ultimaker looks interesting (basically Makerbot that moves the print head instead of the platform to allow larger objects) but isn't officially out yet [3] | $?? | No |
| Lego Mindstorms Kits | Robots. 'Nuff said. | $?? | No |
| Things scale | For weighing things that aren't quite as big as people | $?? | No |
