PC Lab

The PC Lab is where we have our computers which we use for training and other projects. Sometimes, we even have LAN parties on them.

Rules

  • Do not leave trash in the PC Lab!
  • If you are working on a project and must leave, please leave a dated note to prevent others from disturbing it. If a project is without a note, has been left longer that 48 hours, or is an obstruction to others' projects, it may be moved.
  • Leave the existing workstations in the same state as they were before you used them. Software updates and new software for your projects are fine. If a new program starts an item on boot, please disable it.
  • Report any maintenance issues as soon as possible. This includes the facility, hardware and software.
  • If you wish to use other operating systems, only run them off removable media. The PCs have software that is expensive and its integrity should be respected.
  • Do not use the PCs to view pornographic material. Neither members nor their guests should be made to feel uncomfortable.
  • Do not set the heat higher than 25C. This is to prevent damage to hardware and ensure the comfort of members.

Clean Up

  • Return chairs to the workstations if you move them.
  • Leave a clear area for others to work on repair if you are working on a hardware project.
  • If you see trash, throw it out, even if it is not yours.
  • If something presents a trip hazard, please move it.
  • Turn off the lights if you are the last person to leave.

Sanders

Chattlab tries to keep some sandpaper sleeves/belts on the larger machines, but not a huge variety of everything you may need. You are encouraged to purchase a supply for yourself if you are doing a large amount of sanding, and store in your storage bin. Hand sanders listed below all require member-provided sandpaper. Please plan accordingly.
