Hi and thank you all for helping me in every way in getting the Box set up.
Due to budget constraint, It would be great if you guys and gals could help me look out for (2nd hand or recond):
1) Whiteboard (at least 2.5m x 2.5m)
2) Desk + chair
3) Computer (will only be used for surfing netand normal office work)
4) Contacts for services like, t-shirt printing, signboard, electrician.....etc

Many Thankssssssssssss

If all goes well, the box should be up by April.

don't need to be white board right? blackboard also can.

As for PC, I have one spare P4 2.8GHz at home but it's not very stable so I don't think you'd want it as a daily machine. If you just build a very basic one yourself it can cost <$500. Or get a very basic dell/compaq/hp maybe also around there?

If you know where to get a black/whiteboard, I don't mind paying for it.

I think T-shirts, check with Sufian, but it was for the dri-fit type I believe, not sure if he had cotton T's

I probably have enough parts to put together a 2nd hand PC if you want (except you'd need to buy a new, good PSU, those I keep for spares :P). I also plan to "decommision" my mom's old IBM R50 (pentium M w/1.5GB RAM) in another month's time. It's a bit slow, being a pentium M, but in good condition, as my mom never carried it anywhere (the battery needs to be replaced of course, since Li-Ions only last a year if you are lucky).

You can have it for a song and a dance (and I probably mean that literally...)

Hey, this is a chance for us to tag on and get some shirts for 300 too (I think last time, we decided we couldn't get enough orders for the 30 pieces necessary for the price?).

Trash talk for CF T-shirt
1. More Chalk, Less talk
2. What do you drive??? I drive people (for CF and SWF coaches)
3. Your workout is my warm up
4. Obstacles or Opportunities (Rings and Bumpers in background)
5. Increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains
P = F x D / T
6. The Girls I did at CF (names of WOD back of t-shirt like Helen etc....)

I believe the costs varies depending on the number of templates I use so it would be great if you guys can help me vote for the ones that you like best then I can narrow down my choices. Thanks

for #2, you should put a screencap from this past Sunday with Ryan

Personal choices #3.
Perhaps #6 could be All the Girls I've Done, followed by the list... and a couple of blank lines?
May want one less trashtalk for those who might want one, but not interested in trash talk? #5 is an example, but it doesn't do it for me

I can help you source/build/install the PC and parts if you want. I like fixing up PCs :) I think Xian also can. SLS outing anyone? wahaha...

Pentium M is still ok lah. For web surfing/office work/pcw on this forum. Somemore 1.5GB RAM, just run XP or Linux can liao, as long as you don't try Vista :snakeman: No need battery just connect to A/C jack all day long if you don't need portability. But a PC would leave more space for expansion, especially if you intend to take lotsa videos...the largest laptop drive now is 500GB I think. Wouldn't hold alot of Hidef videos...

should get a portable HD for that purpose. Or dump, edit and burn onto a DVD?

Re: CROSSFIT SINGAPORE

Portable HDD's gonna be slow unless he gets an eSATA card. Even then, limited by 2.5" HDD transfer speeds, which I think are around 40-50MB/s last I checked?

OMG seems like you guys are a bunch of computer whiz kidz. So how much must I prepare and how much for the service and who is doing it?

If he plans to do any video editing, then the laptop wouldn't suffice. But if his intentions for the "Office" PC are strictly to keep client information, workout details, billing etc, then plug in an external HD for end-of-day daily backups, and bob's your uncle.

I like #3 too. Come on, Kevin, surely you can come up with more than that?

let us know the budget and we can come up with the parts we can get with the budget...

That's true, but if he's a computer idiot then he probably won't be doing the video editing...hehe...

If it's just a power supply you need to get the system up, then $60-70 will get you a basic decent one. Phing what are the specs for your PC? Maybe my old P4 has some parts that can be used too.

Excellent, i would need a PC for video editing of daily workouts and I alrdy have a screen and keyboard.
I'm still working on the t-shirts but if you guys have stuff you like to be printed pls post it.
