Last update: Pete Forde - 2011-08-16 05:55:18

The following are lists of hardware that are currently being used and supported in at least one of our [wiki: members] production studios. This does not suggest by any means that other hardware and/or models are preferred and/or exist. These lists are to be used as a quick reference for additional installation/troubleshooting and/or known issues that may have already been resolved by [wiki: members] of StudioSysAdmins and may already be found in a different location on our website. It also gives you the opporunity to ask our [wiki: members] about such systems for planning and/or purchasing now or in the future.  These lists are by no means up-to-date or complete, as all our [wiki: members] do not wish to share the information on their studio.
