Classroom setup

[Ic3Sandman]

Hi,

I would like to know if any of you folks have ideas on how to equip a large classroom with say 40 PCs.

What components would you recommend? What would be the network solution? Etc.

He is right, check guidelines

That is not even remotely enough info to make suggestions, expecially considering if you are talking about a public school system vs a private school setting.

Right sorry, here are some more details..

Computers need to be able to perform basic tasks that come with ECDL programme.

Every PC must be connected to each other and have access to the internet

Server based solution can be used

Classroom must have one printer and a scanner

Every PC must be protected from malware 

How should the classroom be maintained? Passively or actively?

Given from the suggestions above, I would definitely go with some intel NUCs, but is there a budget on all of this?

There is no budget limit.

If there is no budget you should just buy 40 PC's with 4x Xeons in each of them. YOU SAID NO BUDGET

I personally would set up a large server with thinclient pc's. I've seen this executed at a facility i visited once. Had about 20 thinclients all with 1080p monitors. All I recall is the server had 2 Xeon 12-cores with 128GB of ram and Win Server 2008 R2. Had all clients working with a group of students compiling maps taken from radio telescopes. Had all maps rendered in about 30 seconds. Never once noticed a lag in terms of usability.
